console-tools (kbd) doesn't work correct (No DPMS Blank on console)
(Using radeonfb) Boottime font isn't loaded on every vt.
....

There is a lot to do, but it seems to be a big, big code change in
that version. This impressed me by looking at the git changes and
the size of patches. And the rc's don't seem to be frozend versions.
A lot of new code comes in....
Let me know whether a complete dmesg is needed.

Thanks
