 From what I read, it's supposed to set the graphics mode properly on 
startup, so there's no flicker as X changes the mode.

Also from what I read, for almost everyone it's a step backwards, as 
only one card is supported, and it won't even be in the mainline kernel 
until 2.6.29.

Which basically means on this one, we're all highly experimental guinea 
pigs.
