<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)> (03/04/02 1.991.1.2)
   [FBDEV SOFT CURSOR] Test to see if kmalloc failed.
   
   [FBCON] Test to see if the user priovides there own work queue.

<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)> (03/04/02 1.991.1.1)
   [FBDEV] Final cursor code cleanups. Now the burden of handling the cursor code lies on the driver side. The reason for this is that a invalid cursor might come from userland.

<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)> (03/03/31 1.990)
   [FBDEV] Massive cleanups of the cursor api.

<[e-mail]> (03/03/26 1.986)
   [FBDEV] Documentation on the device numbers of /dev/fb being mulitples of 32 is no longer true. Removed that info.
   
   [FBDEV] Logo fixes. Now we can display different color logos on screens of different color depths.
   
   [VGA16 FBDEV] Small compile error. Fixed it now.

<[e-mail]> (03/03/26 1.984)
   [I810 FBDEV] Driver updates.
   
   [FBCON] Reversed some of my cursor changes.

<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)> (03/03/25 1.983)
   [FBDEV] The image color depth of zero hack has been killed.

<[e-mail]> (03/03/25 1.982)
   [FBCON] Now we use workqueues so framebuffer code can always work in a process context.
   
   [GENERIC CURSOR] Safety check in case kmalloc failes

<[e-mail]> (03/03/25 1.981)
   [FBCON] Could be called outside of a process context. This fixes that.
