Okay. Well. Different approach then :-)

You wrote somewhere else:

Well, try to add read permission to /dev/fb0 for the video group. I
cannot check on my LFS box, but the SuSE-whatever thing I have access to
uses:
crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 2005-03-19 23:01 /dev/fb0
That should rid you of the 'Can't open /dev/fb0: Permission denied'
thingie. I don't think it'll solve the 'Error occurred during pci scan'
ones, but perhaps it is not needed then.
Cheers,
Steffen
