I've been experimenting with fbdev and the openfirmware framebuffer. It is not good. Instead of 8 bit graphics it is more like 4 bits. Removing radeonfb is going to be even more painful for those that can't run KMS out of the box. You can use radeonfb as a module (there are instructions in the FAQ), but it is just how compilcated you want to make it. I can forsee a lot of Lubuntu users running the fbdev driver. I think maybe the current kernel config should stay.....but it is down to the lubuntu testers to decide.
