Framebuffer==kernel-space. SVGALIB==user-space. So some people would probably
say we should be moving from framebuffer to SVGALIB :D
However, as a result of this, better frambuffer support will require a kernel
recompile with appropriate non-generic-vga drivers. The you can use the
utility "fbset" to choose a nice resolution. Honest, you would like using a
1600x1200 console as well ;)
