Bug Description
After installing Hoary on a system with S3 Trio64V+ and configuring X I was
unable to see anything on the console.
I never experienced such problem with X11 but then I noticed that the vga16
framebuffer driver is loaded.
I think it is not a good idea to load this driver.
Unless jfbterm is used it does not provide any advantage.
And it breaks, at least in this particular setup.

The vga16 driver is not loaded by default (yet)
