I haven't tested it yet. I don't have ATI card for myself yet. I will take
a close look at what we can do. Give a few days. Right now I'm working on
a rewrite of vgacon and vga16fb. I hope to get it so we can go from vgacon
to fbcon and back again. This will help alot in driver developement. VC
switch and rrmod a driver. Regain the VC back.
