That was true in 2.4, I don't think this can apply reasonably well in 2.6.
In fact, from experience, the var tends to be "lost" easily, I'm not sure
why exactly.
On the other hand, I tend to think that if you have a KD_TEXT console,
accel is under fbcon control, if you have a KD_GRAPHICS console, then
the accel engine is under you control. I don't think any else make any
sense in fact
We really need to simplify all of that stuff, it's way too messy at the
moment.
Ben.
