Comment 33 for bug 527369

After browsing the lshw source, it does a lot of detection by opening and querying the framebuffer. I don't think we can teach lshw about vga16fb easily, and it would likely be very hackish.

I've made a hackish patch for Lucid that would prevent vga16fb from registering after another framebuffer and sent it off to the kernel-team mailing list for discussion.
