[SDL] Simple newbie question

[not disclosed]

It doesn't matter that it isn't portable for me - the hardware cannot run anywhere else - it is a one off...

The one problem I have remaining is that I can disable X fine and after I disable X I have a working
framebuffer.  The problem is if my display is disconnected and reconnected (or not turned on before
X etc), the display no longer works.  I can fix this by starting X and stopping it but I haven't been able 
to emulate this from my own code.  I know this is not the place but does anyone know how to kick the 
framebuffer back into life? (using omapfb).

Cheers,

SA
