Another one claims to have a working X with both older and newer X. The xorg with tty's switching will only work if linux-firmware-(non)free is installed, otherwise it will crash after terminal switching or just hangs on a half broken screen. I can also confirm that it works on debian Squeeze 6.02. So Debian 5 Lenny, Debian 6 Squeeze and ubuntu 11.04 work fine. Although ubuntu and probably debian testing with newer kernel need the "video=offb:off" option in yaboot.conf to disable a conflicting framebuffer, and uncomment the aty128fb in blacklist. See my previous post.
