If fb_get_options returns an error, drivers will not proceed with their

I told Geert that if the changes did bite us, then I have no choice
but to add support for the second method.

So, if you think that the first method is not enough, then I will add the
second method. Let me know.
I submited a patch moving offb to the bottom of the Makefile to at
least restore normal drivers. For ofonly, a bit more hackish, but
what about failing register_framebuffer for anything but offb ?
