Don't overflow the 16-character fb_fix_screeninfo id string (fixes some 
console erasing and blanking artifacts). Have the ID default to "Unknown" 
on machines with no built-in video and no nubus devices. Check for 
fb_alloc_cmap failure.

The patch applies OK to 2.6.27, 2.6.26 and 2.6.25 (at least).

Should we backport it and if so, how far?

Thanks.
