fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported. Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.

Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a

display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually

everyone wants that.

The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to

their full potential in text mode. Download it from

<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

help
|
|
The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
|
|
the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
|
|
If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
|
|
System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
|
|
Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
|
|
down the console.
|
|
|
|
If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
|
|
RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics

adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
|
|
will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
|
|
say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
|
|
normal VGA driver will handle it.
|
|
|

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

|
module will be called mdacon.

If unsure, say N.

If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will

automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture

supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will

always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter

You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device

The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
