I've also got CONFIG_FB turned off entirely. The main question is: do you have FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY enabled in you kernel config.

Are you sure you have the correct framebuffer driver compiled into the kernel? Please post your kernel config and the output of 'lspci -nn', so people can have a look. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
