+         If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
+         automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
+        supports this feature).  Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
+         always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
+         is the default behavior.
+
+        You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
+        by using the fbcon=map: boot option.
+
+        To select this feature, "Support for binding and unbinding console
+         drivers", under "Device Drivers"->"Character Devices" must be set to
+        y.
+
+        If unsure, select n.
