Ok, if it is really unchecked then no Framebuffer Driver can use the
card and the kernel switch back to the OpenFirmware driver. Seems to be
a unknown card.

Can you check the type of the chip on the card? Maybe you find some
entries in /proc/device-tree/bandit/formacGA5 with the name vendor_id. 
Just do a hexdump vendor_id.

Or look at the chip itself.
