Don't have a webpage or faq, but what you need to do is:
mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0
mknod /dev/fb1 c 29 32
mknod /dev/fb2 c 29 64
mknod /dev/fb3 c 29 96
mknod /dev/fb4 c 29 128
mknod /dev/fb5 c 29 160
mknod /dev/fb6 c 29 192
mknod /dev/fb7 c 29 224
You'll also need to compile fbcon support into the kernel (which won't
work if you are using 2.1.123, but should work in earlier ones).
