fbcon=map:... broke with 2.6.7 -> 2.6.9-rc3 transition
I just upgraded from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9-rc3 and the fbcon=map:... option stopped working.
My system has two matrox cards with /dev/fb1 being the head I want to use. So I boot with fbcon=map:111111. With 2.6.9-rc3 all I could see was some garbage and I had to log in via network to run con2fb manually. I don't have a monitor attached to the other card so I'm not sure if the output went there.
I seem to recall some patches from Tony regarding fbcon options. Were those applied to 2.6.9-rc3?

No, it's still in the mm tree. It won't get into mainline until 2.6.10, I think. Ask Andrew.

2.6.9-rc4-mm1 fixed the issue for me. Sorry for the noise :)
