Package: busybox-static
Version: 1:0.60.5-2.2

I use busybox-static for my initrd images.
Anyway, fbset function of busybox doesn't work as expected.
I don't think it works at all.

i) busybox fbset doesn't seem to use /etc/fb.modes.
  It says unknown mode when I try to use my custom modes
  from /etc/fb.modes.

  For example, my /etc/fb.modes contains the following mode:
    mode "640x480x16-75"
        # D: 31.500 MHz, H: 37.500 kHz, V: 75.000 Hz
        geometry 640 480 3344 2508 16
        timings 31746 120 16 16 1 64 3
        accel true
        rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
    endmode

  Command "busybox fbset 640x480x16-75" says unknown mode.
  However, /usr/sbin/fbset from fbset package can use the mode.

ii) Busybox's fbset function doesn't change framebuffer mode at all.
  Run "busybox fbset -g 640 480 3344 2508 16 -t 31746 120 16 16 1 64 3"
  and it seems busybox's fbset did something at all.
  However, call /usr/sbin/fbset from fbset package and
  you see that framebuffer mode isn't changed at all.
  "/usr/sbin/fbset -g 640 480 3344 2508 16 -t 31746 120 16 16 1 64 3"
  actually changes framebuffer mode.
