Re: rivafb "Badness" using fbdev.diff.gz and 2.5.5[45]

Tony,
	thanks for your patches, they have fixed most of the problems I had.

I can't convince stty to do anything useful for me :
	do I need a specific/patched version ?
	do I need to specify anything except rows cols values ?
	how would I change the colour depth ?
	I have 7 different lines in /etc/fb.modes related to 1024x768@8bpp,
how can I tell stty that I want to use the equivalent of the timing values of
any particular one of these 7 modes ( assuming timings are still relevant ) ?
	what was wrong with fbset which I have to keep for the forseeable
future anyway until 2.6 approaches 2.4 reliability ?

Using your 3 recent patches together clears up the green screen problem
and text corruption as well as kobject "badness".

This will normally return 1, not 0 as before. Is this intended ?
