adding 'rmmod fbcon' fails as the module is in use. I suppose you could rmmod -f fbcon (force) however I don't want to try that on my only n900 with the prospect of a reflash if it failz.
why not simply stop using the nokia binary text2screen and use prinf to show text on the screen properly when using fbcon ?

of course printf will show nothing for people who don't have fbcon inserted/built in, to overcome this the script can be modified to check whether fbcon is present at start, if it is then use printf to print text to screen, if it isn't then use text2screen.
