I tried that yesterday but it didn't change anything.

I use menuconfig.
But there is no "console drivers" category.

I have found :

Device drivers --> Graphics support --> Console display driver support

and then I have :

--- VGA text console ? ?
[*] Video mode selection support ? ?
<M> MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL) ? ?
< > Framebuffer Console support

Is it a good way ?
