I've been avoiding using framebuffer for the terminals since fb support was mainstreamed into the i386 kernel, and simply setting the term resolution in lilo.conf. It seems that framebuffers are the way of the future, and may even be The Right Thing, so when I recently installed sarge on new hardware, I didn't pass anything to the kernel to disable the framebuffer.
Everything seems to be working fine, but my terms are all at the default resolution. I know that fbset used to be used to set the framebuffer terminal resolution, but it seems that with udev, the /dev/fb[0-9] devices no longer exist. Is there a way to get around this, or does everyone simply use xterms these days? Also, does anyone know how the fbgetty package differs from the default setup?
