 Andrew, Any reason why this patch isn't upstream ? The recent changes
 to fbdev in 2.6.9-* are a regression and we need this patch to get bac

Well I have a whole bunch of fbcon/fbdev patches here, but at some point
one needs to plug the flow so we can get 2.6.9 out the door.  And nobody
told me (until now) that we had a problem.
