Which address ranges does the ex use?

Does the ex by any chance use 0x00000000 ?
Anyway, looks like machfb doesn't like chips that don't have a separate 
memory-mapped BAR for registers, I'll see what I can do about it, as 
far as I can tell it's mapped but not actually used since the same 
registers are available in the aperture.

Another thing I've seen is this - OF seems to ignore the IO BAR of the 
Rage II in my beige G3. The ATI firmware however sets it to 0x1000 but 
leaves IO access disabled. Now since OF isn't aware of that it 
sometimes maps other devices to 0x1000, like an ex or an ne here and 
when machfb enables IO ( I think I turned that off, not sure if that 
was before or after the 4.0 rebranch ) all hell breaks loose since the 
ex or ne driver would actually mess with ATI registers instead.
So, please check your BARs for conflicts.

have fun
Michael
