To switch the refreshing off, use

                video=l4fb:refreshsleep:0

at the kernel command line.

If you don't compile the driver in you won't see anything when using
l4con.

OK, that works as far as CPU usage is concerned, but (as advertised) I now no longer get any updates in my L4Linux console (i.e. it is blank permanently), so it is not usable anymore. Is there any way to have a text L4Linux console which does not use up CPU, or should I just not ever switch focus to the L4Linux framebuffer console?
