Hey Benny!

The 7" monitor shows in /sys/class/graphics/fb0/virtual as 1280,800 pixels which is excellent for watching videos.  mplayer is using fbdev2 (amdgpu) for console display and is noticeably better than the last time I had it hooked up to an i915 based system.  It's a keeper.

For fidonet msging I am using latarcyrheb-sun32 consolefont which gives me a 80 character, 25 line editing window (fullscreen).  Looks good especially the large fonts.

Next will be to get xorg and multi monitors working.  Something a bit larger might be nice, somewhere in the 10-12 inch range. 

Life is good,
Maurice
