Granted. I meant ``I'm not yet trying to handle the case where X comes to
play''.

The fact that radeonfb is loaded or not does not make a big difference
anyway. It would, if eventually the radeonfb driver were able to talk the
right language to the device. Which is something I'm not going to expect
from vesafb. Proper acpi power management would be a dramatic feature to
add to radeonfb...
