This won't work, at least not until I (or someone else) fix atyfb for the
Rage Mobility & LVDS LCD connection. The problem is that you are running
offb, not atyfb, and I don't think the current XF4 copes very well with it.
If you want to use XFree mach64 driver for the mobility (instead of the
fbdev driver), you'll crash because X will try to do PIO to the VGA
registers of the mobility and this won't work on any new machine.
