I have console resize working properly finally (and not trashing
over memory like mad after I closed a bunch of races in the VT
code itself) in my tree.

Right now, that relies on the low-level fbdev doing some kind of
mode validation and implementing FB_ACTIVATE_FIND though. Sucks a
bit but I'll fix fbdev's. No other way to do that properly imho.
Only my new radeonfb implements that for now (and it's only tested
on flat panels so far, where I allow almost any mode when I have a
scaler).

Comments welcome.
 

Cool.  I'll give it a whirl in the next few days and let you know.   
I've been busy with holiday activities for the last little while.
