:-) the framebuffer was first on m68k! 

All can use the fb-devices now, but not an fb driver that depends on
intel bioses! We non-i386'er have the framebuffer in the kernel, so
this new graphical lib from Ben shouldn't depend directly on his
fbvga16!! It should just take that from the kernel area. 

I don't accept any i386-centric for the boot-floppies! This must
be really generic for all archs!!!
