From 3ce05168907c9b1358492a73badb0ff1603fb81d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Fries Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 12:39:22 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] drm/kms: load fbcon from drm_kms_helper Kconfig says fbcon is required by drm_kms_helper. If radeon, fbcon, and drm_kms_helper are all modules, radeon is auto loaded (by PCI id?), drm_kms_helper is loaded because of the module dependency, but fbcon isn't loaded leaving the console unusable. Since fbcon is required and there isn't an explicit module dependency, request the module to be loaded from drm_kms_helper.
