I don't particularly care to use the tool. Only using it to illustrate 
that it also behaves as X does but doesn't rely on X. Which in my head 
suggests a common - low level problem with addressing the card and not 
necessarily an X (mis)configuration but I'm happy to be told otherwise.

As i said, I've tried everything relevant on that page.

# sysctl sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap
hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap: 1

But I believe 1 is the default now anyway (for this kernel).
