Re: [PATCH][FBDEV]: fb_putcs() and fb_setfont() methods

I'll be happier with character coordinates for text mode. 
Yuck!! Using fbcon for text modes is just bloat. For hardware text mode it 
is much better to write a nice small console driver like newport_con.c
could decide on case-by-case basis whether it will use its own code or 
generic without touching pointer (without modifying potentially constant
fb_ops structure common to all fbdev instances).
The patch was rejected. I working on your driver. I can throw in a text 
mode driver as well.
