I'm running debian on a g4 without any usb problems. Are you trying
to build your own kernel? I know that many people (including myself)
have tried to build a custom kernel from stock source only to find
that the usb support isn't in the standard source tree yet.
If that's the case, it's still necessary to use "rsync" to get
the kernel sources from here...

If you're not building your own kernel, your problem could be
somewhere else, like your configuration of your Xserver. Are
you booting directly into X, or do you get to a plain text-based
console?
