Fbset can definitely change the resolution but it doesn't pan the

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the panning test requires that you
manually enable a large virtual resolution before running fbtest.

E.g. `fbset -vxres 2000 -vyres 2000'

I was asked to add the support for virtual resolution for fsl_diu_fb. I
don't know how to test it without X. It seems that fbcon can use the
virtual resolution and pan around. Can someone shed some light on this?

You can try fbtest (CVS module FBdev/utlilities/fbtest on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-fbdev).
