So *this* is what's going on with my port of the cirrusfb driver--why fbset wasn't working... for radeonfb fbset still works in 2.6, so i didn't realize there was this problem... What's so wonky with the fbset code path that screws things up? and why does stty work?
The radeonfb fbset doesn't work right out of the box. The fbset path doesn't resize the vc rows and columns. I use a patch to get things to work. You have to be careful as there is potential for an infinite loop if the calculation between xres-yres and cols-rows is off. I can't post the patch just yet as things have changed in fbcon.c in 2.6.7 so I need to update and test it.
