Genfb relies on a callback to set palette registers - if OF on your  
machine doesn't do that right ( or the callback isn't there or  
whatever ) it can't do anything about it.

It never did anything else.

This is weird - if pcictl can't see it then neither can libpciaccess,  
all it does is walk over /dev/pci* nodes. You can't really blame Xorg  
for that.
