Well, it actually workes fine for me (old ATI-Winturbo). The only
thing I am really missing is scroll-back feature after changing
the screen-resolution using fbset. BTW. is there a way to disable
fb on the kernel command line, i.e. use vgacon? Or a way to tell
the driver another default resolution for _every_ virtual screen?
And, finally - the logo has corrupted colors (doesnt matter for
me :/).

Richard.
