vga16fb diagnostics

[Carey O'Shea]

Hello Paul,

No problems... I took the photos. I'm running Breezy with the latest 
updates.

Breezy Console: http://users.on.net/~lncoshea/carey/breezy-console.jpg
Breezy Splash: http://users.on.net/~lncoshea/carey/breezy-splash.jpg
Breezy Installer: http://users.on.net/~lncoshea/carey/breezy-installer.jpg
Breezy Installer Splash:

Breezy with my own 2.6.13-2 custom kernel (Why is it fixed?):

Hope that helps!

Next step is to do those tests I guess?
