It's a known problem, because the framebuffer device API has nothing
which corresponds to the concept of "ggiCheckMode". (Nothing that is
guaranteed to work, FB_ACTIVATE_TEST looked promising but last time I
looked very few if any drivers supported it).
Marcus, Andy: I think the best solution to this problem is for the
fbdev_checkmode() function to actually try and set the mode on the
framebuffer device, and restore the mode if it succeeds. That is not
a nice solution, but IMO it is better than the current situation where
the fbdev target does not report correct info via ggiCheckMode.
