I see it coming. With the next set of changes it will be possible to have fbdev with the VT system. So I have been putting into place the ability to power down the framebuffer via the ioctl. So I want the flow to be with fbcon from high level console to fbcon layer to fbdev driver. Without fbcon to go from userland to the fbdev driver directly. Also we have mode changing. Soon I will add hooks to the VT layer to allow use to change a single VC via stty. VT_RESIZE can replace the current method of changing the size of all VCS instead of the fbdev layer doing it. So you will see the necessary changes to handle all this.
