No can do. The Maple platform can't generate any PCI memory access below
0x8000.0000. So it can't access the VGA buffer. I have removed all
these accesses from being generated by the emulator. (all other acceses
to the card, including PCI I/O accesses to the VGA registers remain
though).
I am looking at the radeon driver. Maybe it is confused as it thinks it
is running on an OF based machine while at the same time locates a x86
VGA BIOS.
