Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92l
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
There is currently support for modular framebuffers in initramfs-tools
(modules are loaded when the kernel is passed "video=$mod"), but those
framebuffer modules aren't normally included. Please consider the
following patch which includes framebuffer modules.

Hi,
At least for OLPC machines, we can include the requisite framebuffer modules
via hook. Thus, there's not much need for this patch. Thanks!
