Comment 12 for bug 483301

Personally I really don't like the fact that kms forces fbcon, or that later versions of the video card drivers make kms mandatory.

Text consoles are fast and snappy and have that 9th pixel column to cleanly separate characters from each other, something that fbcon lacks.

Since the upstreams have already officially deprecated vgacon there is absolutely nothing that can be done short of surrendering to the inevitable and shoehorning everything else into being compatible with it.
