I have seen a board (Kontron CP306 3U CompactPCI) with which intelfb
always claims that there is a non-CRT device connected - but the board
has only a VGA output.  Probably this is just another broken BIOS...

Building intelfb into the kernel and using the vga=... parameter like
with vesafb used to work in this case.
