Eventually, but right now the driver is relying on Tadpole's OpenProm to do the
initialization.  /dev/fb doesn't include a method of swapping resolution and/or
bpp, and I'd rather have the driver do it so it knows how to restore things
before returning control to the OpenProm console.  There are a couple of Forth
words for 1152x900 and other resolutions.  It would be nice to know what
they contain (if anything) for timings (hint, hint)
