I applied Kevin Hendricks' latest rage128.patch, and aty128fb now works
perfectly in 8-bit color. It still fails as before in 15/16, 24, and
32-bit modes. I get the following message when I do "fbset -depth 16":

fbcon_setup: No support for fontwidth 8
fbcon_setup: type 0 (aux 0, depth 16) not supported

You have to enable

    CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
    CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
    CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y

for 16/24/32 bpp text console support.
