Correct. I am thinking something along the lines of:
alias framebuffer matroxfb
in /etc/conf.modules and a corresponding ("scsi_hostadapter" style) hack
in mkinitrd should do it. mkinitrd should also probably preload some
other modules to support frame buffer if there is a framebuffer
specified in /etc/conf.modules. I have never really figured out what
one *should* load in addition to their framebuffer driver though. Don't
you need some fbcon* stuff as well? Although I don't see those in the
modules directory for the framebuffer kernel package.
