    This option is new and not yet available in 2.6.15, so you may have
    to use your patch temporarily. If you can, set CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT = n
    in Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Console Drivers ->
    Video mode selection support. However, this is automatically selected by FB,
    PCI, and X86_32, so it may not be changeable.

    The "vga=" option will not be available if VIDEO_SELECT is not set.

    Or just apply this changeset:

    to make CONFIG_FB_FIRMWARE_EDID available.
