There seems to be quite some difference between module and
built-in for framebuffer drivers. Quite some time ago I
reported a problem with nVidia framebuffer driver making the
screen go nuts or simply blank (but no lock-up; could still
blind type). I finally discovered that the problem only
happened when the driver was compiled as a module.
