Just check this with the newest versions from fbdev at bk. In my code 
(which is, as I said in the beginning, the stock 2.5.63 kernel), 
fbcon_resize does NO check whatsoever. It stupidly calls set_var().

I think that might be one reason for what I see :)

Now for a plain dumb question: Is there a patch available to update my 
kernel tree to the latest fbdev stuff? (I don't intend to spend much 
time with bk)
