28 This was caused by you and I following the somewhat generic upgrade
29 instructions. fb = Frame Buffer.

31 Under VIDEO_CARDS="intel fb vesa" (that's all from meory but you'll
32 know it when you look at your make.conf file you probably added fb or
33 fbdev - whatever it was. If you and I don't use frame buffers then you
34 and I should remove it, or so I think. Then when X starts it won't
35 have those drivers to load and it won't look for stuff we don't have
36 in our kernels.
