/proc/fb exists, but is empty.

$ lsmod | grep i915
i915                  222254  0 
drm_kms_helper         18309  1 i915
drm                   112088  2 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit            3497  1 i915
i2c_core               12696  5 i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_i801,i2c_algo_bit
button                  3598  1 i915
video                  14605  1 i915

So it looks like I am using KMS (right?).  

Thanks,
Richard
