creating /dev/fb? entries

[David Cheney]

Hi there,

        I've been playing with GGI a bit and am really impressed with that I can
see, however I'm only using the standard RedHat 5.1 release (with 2.1.x dev
kernels) and I can't create the necessary /dev/fb entries. I've tried
MAKEDEV but it doesn't know how to create fb entries.

        Can some helpful soul out in linux land please point me to an FAQ or a web
page giving me some hints to solving this problem.

Any help greatly appreciated
