I have 2 machines that are running 2.5.56 beatifully, except for fbcon 
and ISDN.
The laptop runs ATI radeon - when I attempt to boot with radeonfb+fbcon 
statically linked it wraps the pixels as if the driver is using 1410 
pixels per row while the hardware only has 1400
The desktop has a Vodoo 3500 AGP - when I attempt to boot with 
3dfxfb+fbcon statically it freezes early in the boot, probably right 
when the fb stuff starts.
I'm running 2.5.56 on both, so any tests, on any further info, just let 
me know.
I'm not on the list, so please CC me on any replies.
