I agree.  I'm away from cvs at the moment, so if nobody has comitted
Alex's revision of my patch to fbdev, then may I commit a similar
version some time soon?  I believe that -fixed-vo had issues on fbdev
without it.  Again, I'm away from my machine for a bit, so I'll pick up
on these issues again when I return.
