I can see this on my LCD (which goes dark during >>mode changes) and, of course, the log. 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?
