Hmm - that looks strange. Marcus: what should it read even when busy ?
To me it looks like it in deed reads the wrong reg, but it might also
be that the access is being cached or some wuch. I have seen that on alpha
there are barrier calls to keep sequencing ...

Hmm - that might be. The /proc filesystems contains the maps. check if they
both map to the same physical address.

Yes, that should be as simple as editing /usr/local/etc/ggi/targets/fbdev.conf
and commenting out
