I'm still quite interested it. I stopped using last month because I

VESA and proprietary ATI drivers with the legacy bios) and because the 
shadowfb bug is painful, but I'd like to switch back.

Is there a quickstart for using these somewhere? I tried the ext2 driver 
when you first announced it, but couldn't figure out how to address the 
proper partition from the refit command line.
