Time for a reality check. AFAIK 99.9% of the work done on the fbcon
drivers is done by people who are NOT PAID TO DO THAT WORK. They are
volunteers who do the work because they want to. If having support for
Vesa 2 modes is something that is so important to you, you should put
your time where you mouth is instead of bashing people who have already
given an awful lot! :)
