Hello,

  is there a way to build all video cards support as modules ?
I would want to build a minimal kernel with almost all drivers as modules then
load only the required ones at boot time from an initrd filesystem.
One of my problems is about modularizing framebuffers.  There is no such option
when configuring :(
Do you know of a way to do it?
Especially, if all framebuffer drivers are in modules, the only way to boot
with a display enabled is unsing prom console.  I think there is no much
trouble with slow prom console if it is used only for booting.  However, at the
time the framebuffer driver is loaded it should replace prom console to speed
up display.
I took a look in the console code: it appears the kernel does not support
modularized framebuffers.  So could it be added easily?

Thanks in advance.
