Which framebuffer device (if any) is it trying to initialize otherwise?
OFfb? The first paragraph above implies none, but then I'm not sure why
the video=3D parameters would make any difference.

So far, so good.

The GPU locks up, and things go downhill from there...

Does KMS work better with radeon.agpmode=3D1 (or 2 or -1)?
