Excellent! I take it that you got fbset working, then?

How hard would it be to make Allegro read fb.modes directly at runtime? I
think that would be nicer than having to duplicate that information in
both config files, and this way people would only ever have to tune their
system once (if you wrote an xvidtune equivalent, it would affect fbset
and any other fbcon programs as well as just Allegro).
