That message is a bit of a red herring, all it is telling you is that
OF doesn't have a method for initializing the platinum, but you knew
that anyway. It just means that you can't use the video=ofonly

There are some problems with the platinumfb driver. Mark Abene posted
a message recently with a better version of the platinumfb driver.
Paul.
