Isn't it cool?!? You turned on support for Frame Buffer consoles, as well
as (probably) the VGA FB console, or (possibly) the VESA 2.0 FB support.
The cards I have don't support the VESA modes, and I don't like the effect
it has on my console in 16-color vga mode, so I ended up turning it off,
but it is pretty cool... :)
