kgicon is just a wrapper for fbcon, so it requires root privs just like
normal fbcon drivers. But my hope is that we can slowly work around
this as KGI itself was designed to work without being root.

Well, the timelist or monosync monitors should work on all systems.

I'm working on a program that will handle setting of monitor
parameters in a nice way. But I got into a sidetrack when doing
the makefile for that util, so currently I'm learning automake/autoconf
to see if we can use that for libggi. ;)
