RobbieThe1st, I know that it's quite a bold idea - considering Your limited time - but, as we have proper framebuffer output now (via kernel-power, which, in near future, will become Community Kernel, bundled with CSSU) maybe it's worth to consider - in "unspecified future" - to use it, instead of text2screen?

I'm quite sure, that it would much simplify the code, allowing other people to more easily contribute patches, in the long run, reducing amount of work that You would have to do
