Bug#273378: rootskel: the patch indeeds works on amiga/powerpc/apus

Package: rootskel
Followup-For: Bug #273378


I confirm that this patch indeed works on amiga/apus/powerpc.

Furthermore, i believe that all the cases where the framebuffer option is
needed are those where the framebuffer device is planar orotherwise known not
to work on bogl. Until bogl is fixed for these cases (Simon Richter said heis
working on it), a workaround would be to check /proc/fb for the current fbdev
used (not sure, but probably the first there ?) and match it again a list of
known framebuffer device (amifb, tgafb, ...) which needs the framebuffer=false
option, so the user doesn't need to type it.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
