Yes, it is available. You should use /dev/fb0 if you want RGB color format
(/dev/fb1 and /dev/fb2 are used for video planes generally in YUV color
format).

But do you absolutely need to use framebuffer? Using framebuffer directly
introduces a lot of problems synchronizing access to it with xserver (and it
can't be done in a completely right way currently as far as I know).
