Hi Horst,

  Try a 'sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1' before starting X. The Xorg ATI 
driver attempts to mmap more memory than the card reports, and the OFW 
syscons driver thinks this is an error.

  However, since X hasn't fixed this in years now, it's probably time to 
remove the check since every user trips up on it :(

later,

Peter.
