Hi,

When trying to use framebuffer, I first inserted atyfb (before inserting fbcon) and got a black screen. As soon as fbcon is inserted, the console shows up right, but in the middle the screen is just black.

Steps to reproduce:
- get sure fbcon is compiled as module and not inserted
- modprobe atyfb

Regards,
Samuel
