Ho hum. > Not really, I already had a patch much similar to this since 2.5.x, but never pushed it, so it can wait a few kernel versions. I would rather that they get the testing for as long as possible. It's the Zaurus people that may actually want this feature just because they need it, but I believe they have their own development kernel with this patch already included. Unfortunately though, this patch substantially changed fbcon.c, so any other patch affecting that file may have to wait or risk conflicts in the future.
