[Bug 483301] Re: Can't disable fbcon

Personally I really don't like the fact that kms forces fbcon, or that
later versions of the video card drivers make kms mandatory.

Text consoles are fast and snappy and have that 9th pixel column to
cleanly separate characters from each other, something that fbcon lacks.

Since the upstreams have already officially deprecated vgacon there is
absolutely nothing that can be done short of surrendering to the
inevitable and shoehorning everything else into being compatible with
it.
