 OF is coming up in 640x480 according to the .properties of dev screen, yes.
 
 The problem is not 640x480 as such, but the size of the fonts used. OF
 uses a very small font which is substantially over 80 columns. A few
 moments into the kernel boot a much larger font is used that doesn't
 fit in 80 columns.
