Do you know which graphics card your eMac has? Wikipedia shows one variant with an nvidia card.

I certainly suspect that it's a driver issue, but I won't know unless I see a log from X. There was an update in the radeon driver from 5.0 to 5.1, which may have affected something with the PPC build.

The radeon(4) driver has been re-updated to version 6.14.3, but it's not selected by auto-configuration code. The radeonold(4) driver is providing a frozen version of the last working driver, until all issues in the new driver are fixed.
Users with cards needing the new driver should create an xorg.conf(5) file containing just

Section "Device"
Identifier "RadeonCard"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection

Or merge this section in their existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
The radeonhd driver is now deprecated. Users of this this driver should update their /etc/X11/xorg.conf file by replacing

Driver "radeonhd"

with

Driver "radeon"
