No. video=atyfb:off is IIRC to be usable at all.
As I wrote above I use a Sun Sparc monitor on the 13w3 outlet, not a
VGA screen on the above mentioned VGA graphics card as I haven't found
a working screen for it yet (ok, didn't try many screens either :-)
and the kernel IIRC prefers the VGA card over Sun's framebuffer.

IIRC the Sun screen uses the framebuffer driver. Not sure though.

Will do that latter. The box is currently offline.
Will also check if it still happens with kernels from unstable and
testing.
