# ln -s /dev/console /dev/fb
is the dirty thing which works around the un-redistributable fb drivers.
Worse: Even a
# touch /dev/fb
is enough.

Only works with XFree86 or Xorg, not with Xsun (due to missing API entry
point).
Further: Does work with the Ati chips (PGX, PGX24, PGX64, XVR-100) and
also with 3dlabs-Permedia2(glint), but not with afb, ffb, ffb2 inside
XFree86 (also due to missing entry points).
