Re: [2.6.11.7 / CLPS711x/SkyMinder] module integration issue: keyboard driver _still_ not working after port from 2.4.27

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

okay - i found this:

	http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2000/Mar/0093.html

it talks about "we must force people to choose between vgacon and
fbcon".

when that forcing decision was taken, was dual fbcon-and-serial-console
usage taken into account?

booting with ..... console=ttyCL1 fbcon=vc:1 and then later
on doing modprobe fbcon has exactly the same consequences:
fbcon_takeover is called, the fbcon=vc:1 parameters appear to
be ignored.... greeeeaat.

how the _heck_ am i gonna over-ride the fb_console "setup"
paramaters on a module load, to stop this happening???

i know - HACK TIME!!!

muhahahahah.
