BTW, i am wondering if this will work with real real fbdev devices also, and
not just vesa ones (like the radeonfb used on most powerpc based boxes).
I would be happy to test this, altough i will use the powerpc netboot images,
but i guess the above is not really integrated in the main build yet, right ?
