Integrate fbset in Android
When working with various boards and various graphics implementations it would be useful to be able to start Android with another screen resolution than the default. The small utility fbset makes it possible to list and change frame buffer characteristics.
Unfortunately Android does not support runtime changes in screen resolutions, but since it is possible to restart Android on a running kernel, the fbset utility might be useful to conveniently test graphics behavior.
