Since switch to simplefb/simpledrm VESA graphic mode selection with vga=
kernel parameter is no longer available with legacy BIOS.
The x86 realmode boot code enables the VESA graphic modes when option
FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is enabled.
This option is selected by vesafb but not simplefb/simpledrm.
To enable use of VESA modes with simplefb in legacy BIOS boot mode drop
dependency of BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT on FB, also drop the FB_ prefix. Select
the option from sysfb rather than the drivers that depend on it.
The BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not specific to framebuffer but rather to x86
platform, move it from fbdev to x86 Kconfig.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
