: 1. It doesn't know how to setup grayscale displays.

Setting the GRAYSCALE option in the config file, which links
in a grayscale palette and a 4bpp framebuffer driver, solves this
problem.


: 2. It doesn't initialise the framebuffer correctly, and does a nasty
:    VT switch hack to perform text-based updates on the display.

Yes, Russell complained that the VT switch code is a total hack,
and it is.  It is very early contributed code and has never been
rewritten.  I have moved all of it into src/drivers/vtswitch.c, 
so at least it's contained.  Russell suggested a method of fixing
it, which I have archived.  Certainly VTSWITCH=N in the
config file leaves all of the code out.


: I have produced code snippets to fix (2) in the past - search the list
: archive.

I don't have them - if you send them to me, I'll include them in the
distribution.

Regards,

Greg
