So there, if one wants "ATI Radeon display support" on Radeon XPRESS 200M with
X using radeon_drv.so, *should* put "Framebuffer Console support" to N (if it's
not already).

Bottom line: no radeonfb for me :( at least, not now; but I have to be honest with
you: I don't see what commit dd1447134454b169d5ae353aceb93f2368db8547 brought new
into the picture. The previous radeonfb worked just great, but then, again, maybe I'm
not using the console at it's full power :)

In fact, it's known statement, that there must only one hardware driver
for graphic adapter. Be it framebuffer with X fb driver on it or legacy
VGA text and X with its driver.so and 3D stuff.

(i choose legacy text without X for the most of my time, though :)
