I don't think you need the dependency on FB either, since > this file should only get included if CONFIG_FB is set? I will remove the default-line, but the FB-dependency is required.

It might be a useful feature to have. See patch-7. However, I am not entirely happy with it. I will probably have to rethink the parameters. Thanks for reviewing. I will fix all these in the next series.
