Geert, is there any documentation available about these things? Like
how you go about 'advanced' framebuffer use (multiple fb's, switching
consoles between fb's, ...)? Where are the userland tools, and what do
they do (fbset and others)?

I do have some things figured out, but am still not really comfortable
with framebuffers...

Thanks

Michel
