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

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.
