You'll probably have nothing more than that. The "strange coloured" output is a so-called 'endian' bug: the driver tries to handle the Voodoo in 'little-endian' mode (reversed byteorder, used by Intel CPU's for eg.) while the PPC uses 'big-endian' (normal byte order).
So it's a known flaw in X11's 3fdx driver on all platforms using big-endian byte order (incl. LinuxPPC). It needs to be fixed, but no one took the job yet. You have even luck that it works at some level: Voodoo4/Voodoo5 doesn't work at all, IIRC.
