[Bug 401514] Re: No console framebuffer support for modern ATI Radeon HD cards.

[Ancoron Luziferis]

Although the KMS situation will improve with every kernel release there
will always be cards that are not running well (if at all) with KMS and
the users choice to use UMS e.g. for graphics performance (gaming, 3d
modeling, etc.).

So there should be framebuffers available by default even if the user
and/or the video driver code chooses UMS. This would provide high
resolution colored VT's and graphical splash to nearly any system and
the user just don't have to care about anything.

I demonstrated (although with my very special system setup) that it is
possible.
