[SNIP]
It's not that low resolution these days (normally the smallest native
resolution of all connected displays, i.e. generally >= 1920x1080), i.e.
on the order of ~10 MB of VRAM that can't be used for anything else.
Hui, what? Isn't the fb freed after X takes over?
Nope, that isn't possible (not even un-pinning it from VRAM), because
the console layer can try accessing the buffer at any time from any context.

Ok, that at least explains why people are wanting to get rid of it so desperately :)

Thanks,
Christian.
