Hello everybody,

I've got a little question regarding this bug. When I'm on tty[1-6] before
modprobing radeonfb and fbcon, my 80x25 tty works without any kind of
colour. Well, I have different shades of grey, but nothing else. No blue
folders, no green exes, no red tarballs nor purple images. And of course
syntax highlighting in vim is not really usefull. Is anybody else
experiencing the same?

I'd also like to ask Timo or anybody with the knowledge what I should
expect to be broken when I modprobe radeonfb (which btw direclty uses a
1280x800 console in my laptop)
