It could be in his case (not in mine, unfortunately). I'm pretty sure
that if you boot from a serial console there's no Open Firmware buffer
(which the X server currently uses as a framebuffer). In any case,
there's no ofb device seen when I boot (so no display...)
How would I be able to tell whether or not it is a Brooktree video chip or
not?
