fbcon problems

[Tim Kelley <tpk@r00tserverz.net>]

I'm using the fb driver to get a high res console.

Unfortunately, it still only has 43 columns (well 43 characters), and
after that, typing becomes a mess.

Is there some way around this?

I am using both the intel i810 driver (2.4) and the radeon driver
(2.6) and they both do this. I don't seem to remember my matrox card
doing this though ...
