Ack. Is 16 fuzzy enough, what do you think?I think you should only accept modes where the difference is a fraction of a character width or height. A difference more than that and clear_margins() will not work correctly.How do I - from a low level fb driver - determine the character size?You cannot. That's called fbcon-fbdev separation.
My question was, basically, meant ironic. But this is funny: You tell me that the difference should not exceed the fraction of a character, but it is impossible to find out how wide/tall characters are. Guys, that won't work. I have to deal with LCD displays and TV output as well (not to say "mainly") and I can't just set up odd modes like 800x592, or mode resolutions based on calculations with any possible odd font dimension.
