I believe it's time to finalize what is needed/not needed for the
framebuffer framework:

1. Text mode support?

Required by at least davem and petr

2. console resizing using fbset (besides stty)?

Nice, if it's not too much work.

3. support for unloading of fbcon if modular?
4. driver specified placement of buffers - for putcs method?
5. flexible logo placement/overlayed logo?
6. generic console display rotation?

Low priority, IMHO.

7. Anything else?

0. Update all drivers

Absolutely required

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
