     Not working for me. G550 driving Samsung SyncMaster 171s (LCD).
    It locked system several times in the past when switching between XFree
    and fb console.
     I was told to use exact resolution and color depth wi fbcon and X.
    In my case, it's 1280x1024-16bpp. It is working great in X, but
    fbcon do not work - all I get is a black screen and lock when
    I try to blinfly run XFree.
