That message is a bit of a red herring, all it is telling you is that
OF doesn't have a method for initializing the platinum, but you knew
that anyway.  It just means that you can't use the video=ofonly
option.

There are some problems with the platinumfb driver.  Mark Abene posted
a message recently with a better version of the platinumfb driver.
