It's an irritating bug in the new kernel configurator.  Try make -k if
it complains about the QT libs.

Ok, it worked some, but debian's kernel-package command did not like it,
o well, i will have to build it by hand until it is fixed.

BTW, in the old pm3fb driver (which i did not write) a pm3fb_info
structure contained the driver local stuff. I suppose, from reading
skeletonfb.c, that it is now in the xxx_par (that is pm3fb_par) that
private driver info will be found ?

Yes, you can stuff all your driver private data in info->par. (fb_info
can be stuffed in pci_device during pci_probe, I think).
  

Also, since pm3fb_par is placed in include/video/pm3.h, this data will
be shared with other entities, like the drm module for example.

Yes, but it's optional.

Mmm, it does not compile :((((

drivers/video/console/vgacon.c: In function `vgacon_adjust_height':
drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:890: `i' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:890: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:890: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [drivers/video/console/vgacon.o] Erreur 1

O, well, i think i will wait another week or so that the new stuff has
stabilized a bit more before continuing working on this.

Just declare 'int i' and it should work.
