Hi,
I have a weird error with my PowerBook G4, which
has a radeon card. I am using radeonfb.
After bootup, the screen sometimes looks like it is melting.
I made a video to show you what is going on:

It does only happen sometimes. I could not find
a way to reproduce it.
If I start X after boot with a melting screen, X is also
melting:

But here comes the interresting part:
If I switch back into the console, the screen becomes
normal again and I can continue to work as usual.
I am suspecting some initialization routine bug.
It never happened when booting into OSX.
In X I use the "radeon" driver.
Please give some suggestions on how to track down the problem.
PS: I am very sorry for the big video files.
I tried to install some video coding software to
reduce the size, but it appears that installing
video software on linux is a nontrivial task.
I stopped after resolving the millionth
dependency manually. :)
