Once the code I have works somewhat I will create a big patch against
linus tree with the ruby tree.

The problem is more than VT is visible in a multiheaded setup. More than
one VT can be blanked and more than one VT can be unblanked. The blanking
timer function, static void vesa_powerdown_screen(void), doesn't pass info
in when the unblank function is called. Some how I need to pass this info
in. It is possible that 2 VTs will be blanked. Which one do I pick then. 
The good news is someone has a patch for this. So I will post this patch
and then combine it in with my work.
