[PATCH] fbdev kconfig update

From: Krzysztof Helt <hidden>
Date: 2008-08-10 17:16:36 

From: Krzysztof Helt <redacted>

Update Kconfig for Permedia 2, Trident and
3Dfx frame buffer drivers.

Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <redacted>
---

These are drivers I has been involved in testing or
changing.

It would be nice to have this updated description
in 2.6.27 kernel as the patch can hardly produce any
regression.
