Hmm, you won't see much on vesafb if the CFB* drivers aren't compiled in. They
are not loadable by kmod, so you have to compile them in if vesafb is in!
Please use CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=n, unless you know what you're doing.
Anyone who wants to add init_module() etc. calls to vesafb.c?

The fb_display symbol is exported on my system (grep fb_display /proc/ksyms).
I'm using the vger tree (current) on a CHRP/PPC box.

That's correct.
