That's the plan. Without X we are sunk.
/me wonders who'll be the first that says "X is overrated; 80 colums and
24 (25?) lines is more then enough to run irssi"

Well, all this is very new. The very least we will achieve is to get
screens to turn back on when they come back from suspend, i.e. to DPMS
on where needed, and to poke vbetool and restore vbestate. Some other
odd quirks like radeontool are present, but completely untested.
Well, we'll see how it evolves. Anyway: thx for your great work Richard!
