He, easy to do. Still, it is good to have as early a console feedback as possible, see for example all the hoops the x86 kernel goes in to ensure that not a single line of debugging is lost, even when using an fbdev device. <skipped rest of stuff not really related to modular fbdevs> Friendly, Sven Luther
