+ help
+ This option enables the fbcon (framebuffer text-based) hardware
+ acceleration for graphics drivers which were written for the fbdev
+ graphics interface.
+
+ On modern machines, on mainstream machines (like x86-64) or when
+ using a modern Linux distribution those fbdev drivers usually aren't used.
+ So enabling this option wouldn't have any effect, which is why you want
+ to disable this option on such newer machines.
+
+ If you compile this kernel for older machines which still require the
+ fbdev drivers, you may want to say Y.
+
+ If unsure, select n.
