"enabled" does not mean "working" Alan. I know one distro which I will
not name in order not to offense you which shipped with it enabled by
default, but which would not properly display the characters on the
console, resulting in mangled messages during boot. I particularly
remember the "[ECHEC]" ("[FAILED]") with random garbage instead of the
first 'E'.
