fbset to other VTs



Hi, has anyone figured out how to change fb settings to VTs other
than the current one? Specifically:

- how can I change fb setting for VT #x while not "on" it? (either
  when I'm on another VT, or when I'm connected through the network
  or an xterm -- or even a script)

- how can a default fb setting be made for all VTs (which isn't a
  standard mode that can be passed to the kernel during boot?)

I know about the -[io]fb flags.

While we're at it...

- what is the format outputted from dd if=/dev/fb0 ? "Just" a bitmap
  of the fb?
- are there programs that know how to read this format and display it?
- are they intelligent enough to know about different fb modes?

thanks.
