+          <para>This is needed to display the Linux console on a frame
+          buffer device.  To allow the kernel to print debug messages at an
+          early boot stage, it shouldn't be built as a kernel module
+          unless an initramfs will be used. And, if
+          <option>CONFIG_DRM</option> (Direct Rendering Manager) is enabled,
+          it's likely <option>CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION</option> (Enable
