sorry for my lameness, but I had a video=atyfb parameter in BootX and
Mach64 support in the kernel, but not for virtual frame buffer - I had
strange crash at boot time when I use a self-compiled 2.2.9 kernel (I
should try to enable/disable various driver/modules to find the problem,
but I don't have the time yet). 

Should I enable virtual frame buffer support for Mach64 to use
XF86_FBDev accellerated? Or just I should give parameter in XF86Config
and/or BootX and/or fbset ? (I'm really new to Mac hardware :)

best regards,
Igor
