ALL I WANT to know is, has anybody fixed the problem where the wrong frame buffer driver (vesafb) is installed during boot-up, screwing up operation of the correct (e.g. nvidiafb) driver, so that (e.g.) laptops won't switch to an external monitor on command? I don't know why we need to have a frame buffer during boot, at all; or if we must, why the boot script can't be told to use the right one, next time, after it's discover(8)ed which one that is.
