OK I just realized the problem.  First you have to enable support in the
kernel for the cfb* (etc) and probably have them compiled into the
kernel (I hadn't tried them as modules myself).  Second, remake the
kgicon.o module (`make clean ; make') which will add the necessary code.

This happens because we do "#ifdef FBCON_HAS_CFB8" in fbcon-kgi.c, which
makes it _compile time_ dependent on those options being enabled.
Whether this should be changed, I'm not sure yet (other fbcon low-level
drivers do it this way too).

Cheers,
