Jan, I don't plan on forcing fbdev/DRM on anyone. My work is going to leave
vgacon alone, and if my work at making DRM and FBdev cooperate goes as
planned, those two will remain independant, though part of my work aims at
having fbdev provide all 2D graphics acceleration for DRM while DRM handles
the 3D stuff via the Mesa libraries or similar.
