2. During the fb probe of the Rage 128 PCI card, a pattern of colored
characters is written to the screen.  This might be somebody's
deliberate debug output, as it almost looks too regular to be an
error.

I noticed that too. It happens only occasionally. Sometimes, it's so bad
that I never get a single correct char displayed, sometimes it just
doesn't happen. Note that I didn't have the problem for a week or two
now, I thought it was fixed. Sounds a bit like someone is corrupting memory...

Not just rage 128 (perhaps - I can't tell 100%) but this also happens (it's
come & go with different -testxx ) on my G3-beige [if you mean patterns that
are squares with different coloured dots in the centre]  I was *sure* it was
deliberate debug...
