Hmmm... I didn't realize vesafb can use fbcon-mac.

However, it seems to be used if you don't enable any of the fbcon-cfb* modules
only, since fbcon-cfb* takes precendence.

Do people really use 6x11 fonts with vesafb?

I don't use vesafb (as they (do they still?) tend to interfere with
accelerated X). "But I would if I did."

(Currently typing in an XEmacs on a 1600x1200 21" CRT using 6x13
font. No, I still don't get "enough" on one screen...)


So long,

I'm using the console at 1600x1200 on 22". About once a week I go to 
XFree86 mode, which is indeed as accelerated as the console. No problems. 
I can switch back and forth without even having to notice.
