I can't wait to finally get a usable rivafb. Previous versions
have been both buggy and catastophically slow. This version
(0.9.0) was fast enough to make things work as smoothly as
without a framebuffer device.

B.T.W. is there any way of getting the text-only mode
working and still having fb available for, say, having
fbtv (tv tuner for fb devices) running at one console
while the other consoles would still be using text mode?
