Bug Description
Kernel is one shipped in lucid
Roughly related to 483301
I have such hardware as makes fbcon not usable. The correct drivers for my system are vgaconsole and VESA.
udev automatically loads fbcon if available -- adding fbcon to blacklist doesn't help.
Having to do mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/

I have the same problem. In virtualbox, fbcon is so slow it makes console mode next to unusable, but I haven't found any "good" way to disable it.
This problem persists in beta1 of karmic.
