	My confusion comes from the absense of the CONFIG_FB entry in the
.config file generated by a "make menuconfig" on a 2.4.2 kernel source. 
How do I disable the framebuffer if this line is missing?  (While I've
ventured into the Great Beyond of Kernel Compiling, I still need a
travel guide from time to time and prefer to camp at sites with running
water.)
