Hi,

The dmesg output is below. I'm a little out of my depth here, but it
looks like the kernel _is_ using ofb for the console driver. The
relevant bit is probably:

---[dmesg excerpt]--
ofb0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0: ATI Technologies Rage Fury MAXX AGP 4x (TMDS)
ofb0: 640 x 480, 8bpp
wsdisplay0 at ofb0 kbdmux 1: console (std, vt100 emulation)
---[end excerpt]--

I'm running 3.1; would the situation otherwise be better on 4?

Thanks for your help,
Perry
