Mmm, a bit more looking at this and i found out that pm3fb worked, but was
displaying on the second head, ...

Apparently this new motherboard i have somehow inverts both heads or something
such.

I don't really understand what happens here, but adding an off:0: did make the
console appear on the first head again. (BTW, what hinted me to this is the
fact that pm3fb was reporting Appian J2000 head 2, so pm3fb can recognize the
correct head number, just doesn't use it to attribute it to the fbs.)

BTW, is ruby supposed to work ? I compiled yesterday a 2.5.1 kernel + ruby,
and after booting into it, it hangs immediately at the begining (4-5th line of
the kernel log). 2.5.2 + vesafb but no ruby works fine though.
