I've read that several times now, but this won't help at all. I rebuilt
glibc today with the 2.6 kernel headers without a hitch, but basically
the whole video/video-libs sections don't build with the kernel headers
because the framebuffer header includes some internal kernel headers
which break.

I've read some stuff about this on a debian mailinglist, and they
basically said that fb.h should _never_ be included by any program,
instead they should ship their own version of the header and use that
(which is rather braindead imo, the whole point of using the kernel fb.h
is to stay compatible with that).
