[PATCH] fbcon: donīt call set_par() in fbcon_init() if vc_mode == KD_GRAPHICS
Nothing prevents a user to modprobe a framebuffer driver from e.g. the xterm prompt. As a result, the set_par() function of the driver will be called from fbcon_init(). This is fatal as a lot of X / framebuffer combinations are unable to recover from set_par() reprogramming the graphics controller in KD_GRAPHICS mode. It is also unnecessary as the set_par() function will be called during a switch to KD_TEXT anyway. Because of this no side effects are possible.
