It seems to be a problem with the color palette or somehow color depth
related.
First I just switched to 1024x768-60 and it didn't work, the next time I
added -depth 24 and it works fine. So mol can not increase the color
depth itself? I have depth 15 here right now in the molrc

plum:~ # fbset 1024x768-60 -a

-> crash

plum:~ # fbset 1024x768-60 -a -depth 24
plum:~ # exit

So it looks like the atyfb driver doesnt init the color space stuff
correct.
How can we fix that?
