[gentoo-user] Framebuffer change from 2.6.26 to 2.6.27

[gentoo-user] Framebuffer change from 2.6.26 to 2.6.27

[felix]

When I boot 2.6.27-r2, it creates /dev/fb0 and /dev/db, which X
complains about and refuses to run.  My machine has an ATI Radeon and
X under 2.6.26 finds the right driver just fine, but X under 2.6.27
just barfs and refuses to run.  I can del the two device entries and X
is happy, but this seems like the wrong thing to do.

The 2.6.27 kernel has this dmesg which 2.6.26 doesn't:

    Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30

Framebuffer is configured as modules in both kernels, and none are
loaded by conf.d/modules.  However, 2.6.27 loads atyfb on its own and
the boot screen flickers at two points, presumably as it switches to
the frame buffer.

Is there some difference in 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 regarding the frame
buffer?

Is there any boot option to disbale the frame buffer?
