It works with the frame buffer it's the X driver. With 0.9.71 vbl
refresh timer starts a  lot earlier (before the bootloader).

One thing: is osi_usleep used? the move from uspleed to nanosleep

Well I have:

Boot sequence when working (with 0.9.70):
MOL splash screen
black screen for half a second
grey screen with Mac icon
OS 9

With SVN
White screen
black screen but after a lot of time
stay there.

startmol output:

ALSA sound driver (device 'default')
ALSA: failed to setup mixer

    HFS+  /dev/hda11       Archives       <rw> 18050 MB BOOT
