[Nouveau] shouldn't nouveau.ko depend on fbcon.ko?

[Dragos Delcea]

Hi,

I noticed that loading nouveau doesn't load fbcon automatically; and without
fbcon, when loading nouveau the console turns blank. I spent a few good
hours until I was able to figure out that I had to manually modprobe fbcon
to get the console back after loading nouveau.
This is happening on a vanilla 2.6.35.3; shouldn't there be dependencies in
place between modules?

Note that I haven't got to the xorg part just yet, I'm currently installing
gentoo.

thanks,
Dragos
