Bug#823965: O: fbset -- framebuffer device maintenance program



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the fbset package.

The package description is:
 Program to modify settings for the framebuffer devices (/dev/fb[0-9]*
 or /dev/fb/[0-9]*) on Linux, like depth, virtual resolution, timing
 parameters etc.

I'm just taking control of the bug-trac reports. Any help will be apreciated.
I will translate de docs, providing the references to the project as much
acurated as i can.

This work need an update. It have some 'cross' references in other pkgs like
DirectFB wich is maintained in Debian as version 1.2.10(outdated).

The app work fine, i was testing it on Debian & Ubuntu without problem.

severity: normal

	I only quickly looked, but I didn't find anything obvious making use of
	the binaries the udeb contains, or a reference to the udeb itself; so I
	might be OK for it to go away entirely. Cc-ing -boot@ so that someone
	can yell if I missed something."
