Hi,
These are the global settings detected in check_device, the variables
in framebuffer get zero out in init function.

Ok.

I suppose it supports other modes, as there are suspicious words like
640x480 in the display device. But as I don't find docs on accessing
them, it's basically guess work and may not be portable.

There seems to be explicit information on this, but there are huge
number of words in the display device, it may be be hidden somewhere.
