sysctl trick worked.

Next problem is "fbdevhw".

Error log: 

(EE) R128: Failed to load module "fbdevhw" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.



Also, is there a way to make 'sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1' happen on
startup, or be the default state?

(Further question, anyone had luck getting ACPI Suspend or display sleep
to work with macs?)
