Things like pixclock rates can be changes by fbset and fbcon still
sees these changes. stty is for the basic changes and fbset for advance
changes.
On a personal note. Many fbdev drivers in 2.4.X where also broken in that
only the boot mode worked. This is where the fbset mode database in
userland hack came in (/etc/fb.modes). This is horriable. Even with that
userland database I often couldn't change video modes after booting.
We should split the monitor programing stuff out from stuff like bpp etc.
Now if you think about it we can do things like change the bpp without
having to redo the monitor programming. This is the flaw with the old and
even the new api.
