googled "fbcon.ko lab126" and came up with this:
https://bitbucket.org/twobob/kual-sy...ole/?at=master
the module is there, not sure of dependencies.
oops wrong kernel - 2.6.31 instead of 2.6.26.
I have compiled the kernel from source and used the modules - not too bad/hard as there are great tips on this forum to do just that. I'll keep looking.
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE has to be enabled as a module for fbcon.ko to be built.
