B and A are OF aliases for the same device I reckon, and which of the OF
nodes got supplied an address by Apple is beyond anyone's guess. Sometimes
even the parent node got the address...
Use the source, Luke. m3mirror is just a wrapper for the mirror ioctl, so
look at the ioctl code in the aty128fb driver. Make aty128fb spit out a
few messages indicating what it's doing. Make sure m3mirror was built with
kernel headers matching your kernel version, in case the or layout size of
the ioctl data has changed.

So it did successfully open /dev/fb0. Now what?
