Whoops! Sorry, I sent a blank reply by mistake.

Well, the patches for the Classic II video were already in the kernel.
I submitted all the intvidtest 0.x changes to the kernel way back in
September. Some changes were made since then.

Either this is an old bug that was solved already or it's a bug that we
never quite fixed.
I think the Classic II suffers either from the same problem where the video
really starts on a page boundary like a Quadra, or we just happen to have
the start of video RAM wrong.
Just try compiling with a -current kernel. They have both the latest
intvidtest and ADBtest code in them. Let me know what happens.
