got the nice Tux logo and everything. All you have to do is enable it
(it is not available as a module) and the different text weights (8bbp,
16bbp...etc -- don't make them modules or you make your life a little
harder) and when you boot up it will automagically use that driver for the
framebuffer (assuming you created the framebuffer device, read the documentation
for that).

And lo, the chronicles report that john mccutchan spake thusly unto the masses:
