also, the other thing is that the Radeon shows up in dmesg:
Dec 7 13:26:25 zaphod /netbsd: ofb0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0: ATI Technologies Radeon 7000/VE
Dec 7 13:26:25 zaphod /netbsd: ofb0: 640 x 480, 8bpp
Dec 7 13:26:25 zaphod /netbsd: wsdisplay0 at ofb0 kbdmux 1: console (std, vt100 emulation)
(well, dmesg only shows my mc0 timeouts, so gotten from the log file)
and scanpci shows the card as well:
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0d function 0x00: vendor 0x1002 device 0x5159
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
so that all points to the card working in this machine, just that OF doesn't
report it in 'dev / ls' so the ofb stuff won't ever actually work.
