Hrm, that machine has /chaos/control hardware, doesn't it?
I thought I fixed that. So the lower half of ofb finds the framebuffer 
just fine ( or you wouldn't see any output at all ) but it doesn't make 
it to the upper half ( which attaches to PCI ) for some reason. 
Strange, but should be pretty easy to fix, I'll look at it in a minute.

have fun
