They are pretty neat. That is why I'm maintainer of the framebuffer layer
for the kernel. Really great for small embedded devices like hand held
movie players. Like the ones I play with at work. They are the only thing
avaiable on the PPC and sparc platform. As for what you can do with
framebuffers. Wait until 2.5.X and see the neat tricks I have planned for
it :-) Much improvements to it and the console layer.

renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 2. A disease.
