Is Framebuffer needed?



In trying to optimize my Voodoo 3500 with mplayer I compiled my kernel
2.4.17 with framebuffer support.  Is this necessary, or what advantages
do framebuffers have?  In the docs it seems that fb's simply allow for
similar config's on different architechures.  Therefore, if one is 
running an Intel machine then it doesn't seem like framebuffers have
any added advantage.  Is this correct?
