Strange. The good news is, if you see the cursor, it means the drawing
functions is working since atyfb uses soft_cursor() which uses
xxxfb_imageblit (the same function to draw the characters). That is
perhaps fixable.

You cannot use fbset anymore to change the window size, you have to use
stty cols <value> rows <value>.  That implies the driver can set the
video mode independently from fbset.  If it doesn't, you can use
something like this:

fbset 640x480-60 && stty cols 80 rows 30
