No, # # Graphics support # # CONFIG_FB is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y # # Console display driver support # CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y directly from my config. As you can see, no FB. Why? Because it is common known, that FB&nvidida binary driver, that FB&X are a very bad choice. You do not need FB. Never. And if you want to use nvidia or ati-binary drivers, FB is not only bad, it is a false choice. The only grakas, that need FB are SiS based, the rest NOT!
