Hey all,
I wanted to try out Michael's improvments in the kernel and in the X
server on my 4400 which has an integrated ATI card on which I weren't
able to use X up to now.
The box behaves quite differently: it has of 2.0. Maybe that is the
cause.
The most noticeable thing is that at startup the first messages are in a
small font at 1024x768 (so this OF detects the monitor). Then the rest
of the kernel messages as well as the console appear ina bigger sized
font very similar to the one that sun sparcstations use. Also strangely
the image is abit fuzzy and horizontal sznc seems unperfect, the left
and right edges of the image show pciels coming and going...
Then I try to configure X as much as possible closely as I did on the
9500.
My Mouse (physically the SAME mouse and keyboard I attach to the 9500)
doesn't work, either with Xfree or Xmacppc. But dmesg shows it!
some dmesg:

ofb0: 1024 x 768, 8bpp
wsdisplay0 at ofb0 kbdmux 1: console (std, vt100 emulation), using
wskbd0
wsmux1: connecting to wsdisplay0
Xmacppc comes up in 1024x768! but I need to kill the process having no
mouse. Keyboad works and I can type in the console.
The troubles come with Xfree.
I tried setting colors to 8, 16, 24 but no big changes. The driver I
selected in xf86config is "ati"
The screen come sup, some windows are displayed but entire parts of the
screen are duplicated but not regularly (that is not split in half
vertically or horizontally. More like 3-4)! I see two xclocks...
sometimes at some resolutions some parts are then colored with yellow.
But here are good news too. Once killed the X server, I get back to a
uniformly mangled screen, small white checkers! but the font table is
not corrupted and typing shows the console is perfectly usable! The
"borders" were no text is written cotinue to have the strnge pattern,
but this is only aesthetic and the console works perfectly.
Afaik I should have at least 2MB of VRAM and IIRC the computer was
uprgaded to 4. 4MB is also what Xfree detects.
here some excerpts from my Xfree log, there is a warning I donl't like
at all though.

Any suggestions are welcome. Maybe I found a bug? or some new hint for
Michael to improve his work?
This ATi card is integrated on the board, even if it is plainly seen as
a PCI card.
