Thanks for the explanation!
Understand the process clearer.

For the change I mentioned yesterday, I already tested on:
- armel/kirkwood
- amd64
and they're working as expected.
So I just pushed the commit to add screen support.
I hope all ARCHs still (daily) build fine when I get up tomorrow morning.
If not I'll try to fix or simply remove the screen support for that
specific ARCH.
This has big impact to UI (added a top bar) and operation (Ctrl-A
[1-4], previous Alt-F[1-4] is still working though).
I hope it won't panic anyone.
Cheers,
