yes, but also pay attention to CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY: you may still

My bigger concern here is that we try to tie keyboard and pointer device
to the framebuffer. IMO, these are independent parts of the system and 
the relation
depends on the use-case. One can have graphics enabled w/o framebuffer 
at all, e.g.
DRM/KMS + OpenGLES + Weston + kbd + ptr...
