I looked in devs.tgz and did not see any fb0 or fb anything.
Can I make my own device entry instead?

I will try the other three approaches except the link to Delilinux (xvesa)
seems to be broken.

The SiS video is not supported by svgalib either - links2 will only do 16
not 256 colors.

Is there an xvesa for vesa 1.2 not just 2.0?
