Oops, i could have sworn it was in the list of unconditionally loaded 
modules. Sorry, my bad.

Ok, I'll update out driver.
Did you also fix the ffb1 screen blanking problems?
It turned out that blanking on a Pacifica 1 DAC will result in 
corrupted video memory on unblank - our workaround was simply to redraw 
everything on unblank when the driver identified a Pac1. Any ffb2 or 
newer is unaffected by this.

have fun
