You specify your required load order via command line options thus: video=controlfb:vram:3 video=matrox:off The options I gave above are of no particular importance, except maybe to show how _not_ to load a framebuffer driver. The above gives me controlfb on /dev/fb0, and matrox switched off. Omitting ':off' gives me matroxfb on /dev/fb1. For the exact name string for your framebuffer drivers, you probably have to look at the source code. I know of no place where they are all listed (as the complete framebuffer stuff is rather poorly documented).
