Revert "fbdev: ignore VESA modes if framebuffer is disabled"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This reverts commit 464bdd3.

Peter Anvin correctly points out that VESA modes have nothing to do with
frame buffers per se - they are often just regular extended text modes.
Disabling them just because we don't have frame buffer support is very
wrong.
