It's there on both my 10.0 and on my 10.2 system.

10.0:

% ls -l /dev/fb*
crw-rw----  1 root video 29, 0 2007-03-26 18:58 /dev/fb0

% rpm -q --whatprovides /dev/fb0
devs-10.0-1


10.2:

% ls -l /dev/fb*
crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 2007-03-05 18:18 /dev/fb0

% rpm -q --whatprovides /dev/fb0
devs-10.2-19


If you haven't installed the appropriate devs package, do so.
