I submited a patch moving offb to the bottom of the Makefile to at

Just in case they aren't, vesafb and vga16fb should also be at the bottom,
cfr. the old order in fbmem.c.

They are, with vfb at the very last.

what about failing register_framebuffer for anything but offb ?

Humm, indeed hackerish...

But the advantage of this is that we can finally exercise the failure path
of many frame buffer device drivers in the wild ;-)

Assuming, as I've mentioned in another thread, that info->fix.name ==
to video=xxxfb.
