Binary package hint: xorg

I just found out that a dependency in fbcon is hard-coded in Xorg for whenever kernel mode switching is used.

Attempting to manually hide fbcon.ko results in massive screen corruption.

Why this is a bug:

Text mode 80x25 is very useful for doing work on muds and the kernel development. It's snappy and fast. Forcing it out of existence with hard code is improper forcing of system policy.
