James (or anyone),

Do you have something which might apply at least 
semi-cleanly to fbdev-2.5 current?  The reason I ask is 
because I have to use 2.5.64-ac4 or else my system won't 
boot.  The problem is that Alan has already applied your 
latest BK patch which kills your matroxfb diff against 
fbcon.c.  Alan has also modified your changes, thus making 
backing it out quite difficult and prone to error...  Thanks 
in advance :-).

Cheers,
Nicholas
