Package: linux-2.6

Severity: normal
$ cat /proc/fb
0 ATY Mach64
$ od -cx /proc/fb
0000000 0 A T Y M a c h 6 4 \n \0

So /proc/fb actually does contain data, but:
$ grep "ATY" /proc/fb
$ echo $?
1
$ echo "$(cat /proc/fb)" # returns empty line
$ echo "$(< /proc/fb)" # does work...
0 ATY Mach64
I discussed this on #debian-devel and the opinions were this is either a
kernel or a libc bug, with the kernel being the most likely.
Note that the same commands on i386 and powerpc _do_ work.
