This is normal. The framebuffer layer is moving to a new api. The next set
of changes will finish the port over to this new api. Unfortunely it will
break most drivers. It is up to the driver maintainters to update there

MS: (n) 1. A debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 2. A disease.
