They are, and I think this functionality belongs in the framebuffer
driver rather then the keyboard driver, since this is basically a
framebuffer function (technically its not, but switching the VT from
text to graphics sounds like a visual function rather then an input
function, at least to me). In fact, I think we should probably make the
mode switch the default rather then the exception, especially for Linux.
