Description Derek Tattersall 2000-02-15 16:40:50 UTC 
Man page for fbdev is missing and amn page for fbset says it is obsolete
and unreliable.
Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2000-07-16 17:18:58 UTC 
Still an issue.  The original 1-year old tarball has the same shortcomings though :)
Comment 2 Preston Brown 2001-03-23 21:48:15 UTC 
man page is now present, but it may still be outdated.
Comment 3 Alan Cox 2002-12-14 02:39:57 UTC 
Still true in 8.0 about obsolete page
Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2004-10-12 10:35:31 UTC 
Man page for fbdev is now present in recent distributions.

I contacted Geert Uytterhoeven (the fbset upstream maintainer) and he
wrote me that the fbset-2.1 release was the final one, so the
development of it was stopped. This is the reason why I'll close this
bug WONTFIX.
