A note about initalizing a video card. The fb console system does this for
you. You don't need to set the video mode or the color map. A small note.
You need the framebuffer console enable to do this. If you have a stand
alone fbdev system you at present have to set the video mode with some
userland application like fbset. I do plan to add a patch that sets the
mode in register_framebuffer if the var.activate field is FB_ACTIVATE_NOW. 
This makes sense for embedded devices.
