I did file bug reports against elvis-tiny (bug#62720) and
less (don't know the number).

"XFree86 has some problems getting the clock selection
right with some ET4000 boards when the server is started
from a high-resolution text mode.  The clock selection is
always correct when the server is started from a standard
80x25 text mode."

I don't know much about the framebuffer device, but is it
possible to have a kernel on the boot disc, that uses fb,
but without the penguin logo and w/ 80x25 instead of 80x30?
Or does using fb mean, I always have a higher
discrimination?
