Strange.  If you boot at 800x600, the console will compute that as
100x37.  On fbcon_resize, it will request 800x592 but because the
difference is only 8, fb_set_var should be skipped, so no mode change
should happen throughout.

But it definitely does. I can see this on my LCD (which goes dark during mode changes) and, of course, the log.

Just check this with the newest versions from fbdev at bk. In my code (which is, as I said in the beginning, the stock 2.5.63 kernel), fbcon_resize does NO check whatsoever. It stupidly calls set_var().

I think that might be one reason for what I see :)

Now for a plain dumb question: Is there a patch available to update my kernel tree to the latest fbdev stuff? (I don't intend to spend much time with bk)
