    Subject2.1.112 console config problem

    The config step allows the following settings, which breaks the build
    process when attempting to link `vmlinux', because of missing
    `fbcon_vga_*' symbols.

    I have an i486 machine.

    It seems that something in this setting should force CONFIG_FBCON_VGA
    not to build as module.

    Also the Tcl interface (make xconfig) still has problems with the
    "console" screen:

    * the dependants of "select other fonts" and "select compiled-in
    fonts" use the same macro names, which unexpectedly makes the
    greyed-out items (under "other fonts") to be selected just like the
    ones under "compiled-in fonts". Quite confusing.

    * some unselectable items, which are selectable form `make config':
    "vga chipset", "vesa graphics", etc.

    * some irrelevant selectable items: amiga, atari, mac graphic modes
    (FBCON_AFB through FBCON_MAC)

    * some unselectable items (not selectable from `make config' either,
    so it may not be a bug): "select other fonts" and children
