Indeed. After searching the forums for a way to implenent a framebuffer console I found Mentalist Traceur's post. I followed the instructions exactly and I'm happy to say it is working.

I have two questions though.

1. I still don't understand how to generate the correct kmap file from pali's code.

2. Scrolling console text is very sexy. When the bootmenu screen enters and exits there is a lot of graphics tearing, not so sexy. Might there be a way to fix this?
