I've been trying to get it working with the fbcon console driver. Has anyone had any success with that? While it "works", its performance is unusable as a console. It redraws the whole screen every new line, which may be acceptable. A real issue is when it tries to scroll the screen, it redraws each line partially and then does a full screen update with each partial line. It seems the driver is capable from Jaya's video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bny6qyRDWw Are those kind of updates a limit of the broadsheet driver or fbcon? Or more hopefully, is there a configuration change to improve this?
