    the Linux-on-a-CD system Knoppix has nearly all framebuffer drivers for
    2.4.23 compiled in. Additionally, it surpresses most kernel messages by
    lowering the kernel log level.
    
    Two framebuffer drivers (clgenfb.c and hgafb.c), however, use KERN_ERR
    to say that their particular card has *not* been found which is very
    annoying.
    
    Especially the clgenfb.c driver simply says on bootup:
      >  Couldn't find PCI device
    which can really confuse newbie users.
    
    I've already send a patch that fixes this for 2.4 -- Marcelo and Geert
    Uytterhoeven have already ack'ed it.
    
    The same change should be done for 2.6, too IMHO.
    
    The appended patch replaces two KERN_ERR with KERN_INFO and additionally
    makes the cirrusfb.c message more descriptive.
