hing that makes an intelfb attach a wsemuldisplaydev, or that the latter is some kind of macro device for the various fb devices. But I am just guessing...

this, I've discovered that a radeondrmkmsfb0-based kernel requires that I retain the vga* at pci? dev ? func ? line in the configuration, even though no such device is ever attached. If I remove that config line, the kernel will still build and link, but when booting the resulting kernel

If I configure a (amd64, 7.0) kernel with no vga* at pci? then it fails to boot (properly). This is despite the fact that no "vga at pci" ever seems to get configured (so it is unneeded). Instead, I have acpivga0 at acpi0 (OVGA): ACPI Display Adapter What happens
