A month or two ago I noticed that the framebuffer console driver doesn't
know to do proper framebuffer acceleration in Linux 2.6;
For what fbdev operations will acceleration be used?
Text console acceleration (rectangle copy, rectangle fill, bitmap expansion,
panning, y-wrap). These have been in use since ages, but the current 2.6 fbcon
code doesn't use all of it anymore.

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