Subject[PATCH][2.4] change two annoying messages from framebuffer drivers
Hello,

the Linux-on-a-CD system Knoppix has nearly all framebuffer drivers for
2.4.23 compiled in. Additionally, it surpreesses most kernel messages by
lowering the kernel log level.

Two framebuffer drivers (clgenfb.c and hgafb.c), however, use KERN_ERR
to say that their particular card has *not* been found which is very
annoying.

Especially the clgenfb.c driver simply says on bootup:
> Couldn't find PCI device
which can really confuse newbie users.

The appended patch replaces two KERN_ERR with KERN_INFO and additionally
makes the clgen.c message more descriptive.

Please apply, thanks!

I'll create a separate patch 2.6 later, apparently clgenfb.c has gone there.

CU
Michael.
