I tried this (I compiled a kernel without the ati driver in), with the
following results:
* I got a steady picture from the console and X
* I needed to have the CRT plugged in at boot time, as m3mirror doesn't
work against offb
* I have to use an 8-bit color mode in X
* The colors in X are totally screwy, making it not really very usable.
So, can anyone suggest how I solve the screwy colors problem, or make
offb use a mode deeper than 8 bits?
