The radeonfb fbset doesn't work right out of the box. The fbset path
doesn't resize the vc rows and columns. I use a patch to get things to
work. You have to be careful as there is potential for an infinite loop
if the calculation between xres-yres and cols-rows is off. I can't post
the patch just yet as things have changed in fbcon.c in 2.6.7 so I need
to update and test it.
