[...] I see that for PPC in packages/video.c::init_video the framebuffer is allocated using OFMEM and then mapped 1:1. Blue has suggested that if direct access to the framebuffer is not required then we could try a similar dynamic allocation for SPARC - does anyone how/where OpenBoot stores its VGA framebuffer?
Assuming the AST driver is VGA (I think it is, but I'm not all that familiar with VGA), it does a simple map-in of BAR 10 for size 80.0000, and smaller amounts for BARs 14 and 18. That probably lands it in the 0xfexx.xxxx window.
