The fbdev pci probe doesn't use the fbdev passed by the user,
and instead tries to guess what framebuffer the user wants to use.

Only if that fails, fbdev falls back to the option passed by the user.

This is backwards, if the user explicitly passes a framebuffer
device to use, the X server should use that, and fall back on
guessing if that fails.

This is a submodule to access linux framebuffer devices.
It is supported to work as helper module (like vgahw)
for the chipset drivers.  There are functions for
saving/restoring/setting video modes, set palette entries,
and a few more helper functions.  Some of them can be
hooked directly into ScrnInfoRec.

In ../drivers/fbdev is a "chipset" driver.  It is a simple,
non-accelerated and hardware-independent driver which works
on top of this fbdevhw submodule.
