Hi,

every time I see efi framebuffer changes I get a little queasy.
There's quite a lot of variance in well, what I once thought would be
better than just dealing with a VESA framebuffer.

So I'd really appreciate it (and I'm sure others would too!) if you
listed all of the things you tested out changes on successfully when
you do make changes. That way I and others can have a hope of actually
reproducing what's going on and also testing on setups that you don't
have.

Thanks,



-adrian

(I'm really surprised this stuff is more complicated than VESA 2.0..)
