Nice work Martin! :-) This (fbcon+vesafb) is over 2x as fast as the
stock 2.1.109 version! Also some _really really_ slow updates in
certain dialog boxes are now instantaneous. It also fixed the
off-by-one line problem. The only thing I can put my finger on is
wrong colours for cyan and yellow (see my other posting about this).

Thanks,
