fbcon breakage?

[Andrew Rodland <arodland@noln.com>]

Hi!

I'm using a Dell Latitude CPi A laptop, with a Neomagic 2200 graphics chip in 
it.
Since earlier today, I can't get it to work with neofb; I get a really nasty 
oops early in the boot, right after neofb initialized.
 I changed more than a few things today, but I changed everything back, 
around, and in circles, and it still seems to come down to neofb.

Anyway, I manually copied down the oops and ran it through ksymoops.
Output follows.

Please Cc:, as I read the list through GMANE.

Thanks
