 bizarre!  that's massively odd.

 so, loading the modules is ok, but it's echo to /dev/fb0 which...  i
mean.... it's just a memory-mapped area of shared memory for goodness
sake!  hmmm... what's this about FB_RESERVED_MEM in
sun4i/disp/dev_fb.c?  hmm, that looks like fun - are you compiling
with that #define being used or not being used?  FB_RESERVED_MEM uses
disp_malloc and disp_free (which are implemented in dev_disp.c) and
without that, the standard linux kernel alloc_pages function is used.

 also just to confirm: if you create a kernel which has these modules
built-in (and you boot with serial console so that nothing gets
written to it) does _that_ work?

 ok, i have an idea.  can you get the CPU clock speed down to its
lowest rate, and try again?
