Advantages:
* It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
without using tiny, unreadable fonts (NOT on the Dreamcast)
* You can run XF86_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
* Most important: boot logo :-)
Disadvantages:
* Driver is currently limited to the Dreamcast PowerVR 2 implementation
at the time of this writing.
* Driver is largely untested on non-Dreamcast systems.

font:X - default font to use. All fonts are supported, including the

640x240-60, 640x480-60.
mode:X - default video mode with format [xres]x[yres]-<bpp>@<refresh rate>
The following video modes are supported:

defaults to 640x480-16@60. At the time of writing the
24bpp and 32bpp modes function poorly. Work to fix that is
ongoing
Note: the 640x240 mode is currently broken, and should not be
used for any reason. It is only mentioned as a reference.

XF86_FBDev should work, in theory. At the time of this writing it is
totally untested and may or may not even portray the beginnings of
working. If you end up testing this, please let me know!
XF86_FBDev has been shown to work on the Dreamcast in the past - though not yet
on any 2.6 series kernel.
