there is insufficient info about the specific laptop model to know
what is failing. It's not like the 12 fbdev drivers are chock full of
bugs, they are used routinely on other platforms.
You haven't seen intelfb then, it is a train wreck of code and I've no
idea if it works on most chipsets, it certainly will blow up with wierd
BIOS configs and funny screen, I won't load it on any platform as-is..
Out of curiosity - who are the people that *need* intelfb ? (as opposed to
*want*).
My impression was that fbdev is necessary only for non-intel folks (like
powerpc or sparc owners).
