once you know what fbdevs are there, you can read /dev/fb/[01...] with
ioctl FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO, you will get the fb_fix_screeninfo structure, which
will contain more info, like the kind of acceleration supported by the board,
video memory start and length and other such stuff. More or less the same info
as what is given by fbset -i.
