fbdev updates

[James S. <jsi...@ac...>]

Hi!

  I just made a huge amount of updates this morning. I have done
extensive tetsing to ensure the drivers compile. Most do. I still have to
work on the cirrus, permidea and TGA driver. The rest are a go from what I
tested last night. The current CVS is now in complete sysnce with final
pre9. 
  I toke a look at the NVIDIA text console driver. Very nice work :) Like
fbdev you have to wait until pci is running to see whats going on. I
really like the idea of hardware text console drivers taking advantage of
higher end hardware with text modes. Another reason for fbdev and the
console system to be more seperated. I'm going to have to figure out how
to the NVIDIA text driver and the nvidia fbdev work in harmony.
Thank you for the driver.

Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
