It was either that or keep rebooting every time I wanted to play with
some video mode settings. :)
That patch basically got it to the functional stage. The command line
options work and all sections of the database file can now be used.
Changing resolutions doesn't quite work because of some kernel bugs I
mentioned before and having a different resolution on each virtual
terminal is also broken in the kernel. With a working fbset I can look
into these bugs now.
Hopefully by tonight I'll have another patch ready with the rest of the
changes I've made to fbutils. I've made the help text match the actual
command line arguments and I'm getting the last of them to work. After
that patch we can put it in the finished category.
John
