Unfortunately, James is still working from wrong end of problem :-(
Instead of first creating layer in fbcon which handles different videomodes
on different VTs and then removing this code from lowlevel drivers,
he instead first removes this code from drivers (making them very limited,
I'm glad that he skipped matroxfb) and then, maybe, he'll write fbcon
layer. But we had long discussion about this on linux-fbdev couple of times
during last couple of months, so I'll shut up.
