ON laptops:
If your screen begins to go out , you can use the following to route it through the VGA.
[CMD=">"]printenv output-device[/CMD]
It should list it as screen.
[CMD=">"]devalias screen[/CMD]
Compare it to the output of
[CMD=">"]dev / ls[/CMD]
and see what it is.
If the letter is A then the VGA output is B.
[CMD=">"]setenv output-device /path/to/VGA/B[/CMD]
That will reroute it to the VGA.
If possible, could this thread also become a sticky? Open Firmware was/is used on SPARC64, OLPC, and a few others. It may help as a reference for others.
