Does that mean the mode/depth set by OF, or the one set by the
vmode kernel cmdline option?

The one set by OF. If the video driver supports it (that should be
the case of most drivers used on ppc with 2.4), any video mode set
either via cmdline, fbset, etc... or X if X is using fbdev's.

Ok, I think I meet the criteria then.  I'll do some experimentation.

With a cable from the G4's modem to another modem, and some hackery
(already present in arch/ppc/xmon/start.c, I suggest you look at that
file), it's possible but tricky.

Ok.  Is there a fundamental reason which prevents it being possible to
use the USB keyboard, or just hard work?

I'm currently running 2.4.1pre7 rsynced from the bk tree.

pre8 is already there ;)

Well, unless there are any vital fixes, I'll hold off for a few days.
