Good FAQ !

There's just one thing:

People need to use _vgafb_ instead of vgacon, since there is no way to
remap consoles between vgacon and framebuffer devices at the moment
(and FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP only works for framebuffer consoles).  An extra
paragraph about reconfiguring the kernel to use vgafb would be great.

Moo :-)
