Follow-up from #394615 sent to #401684.

using iso [1] from yesterday :

cat /proc/fb
0 VGA16 VGA

ls -la /dev/fb*

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Dec  6 20:11 /dev/fb0 -> fb/0

/dev/fb:
crw-rw----    1 root     root      29,   0 Dec  6 20:11 0

grep -i fb syslog
Dec  6 20:11:48 kernel:  BIOS-e820: 00000000ffb00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
Dec  6 20:11:50 kernel: vga16fb: initializing
Dec  6 20:11:50 kernel: vga16fb: mapped to 0xc00a0000
Dec  6 20:11:50 kernel: fb0: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device

Attaching syslog.gz

I did a test with [2] but I got the following :
...DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening '/dev/fb'!
   --> Is a directory

Hmmm, cat /proc/fb
0 VGA16 VGA

No vesa here.
