If you have a better idea - it only affects text console, and unless you
find someone to debug the accel routines, it's better than screen garbage.

Sure, set noaccel=1 and rename the boot option to accel. But it's a rare
glitch from what I've heard, so mentioning the fbset -accel false fix in
the README might be enough.
