As a matter of fact I could never compile 2.4.19 or 2.5.3x with framebuffer 
support -- my compile always ended with an error.  So I'm running my blade100 
bufferless.  It works and I like the sunos-like black text on white 
background more than the white-on-black that the framebuffer uses.

Any way to tell the framebuffer to reverse fg and bg?  I guess I ought to 
RTFM, but since I have the podium .... :-)
