With a 2.6.30.y kernel I have ../graphics/fb0 not .../graphics:fb0. If this was changed in the kernel, fbdevhw probably needs to look for both.

Hmm, I just rechecked on a vanilla 2.6.30.2 kernel and I have graphics:fb0. # ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 1. Sep 11:05 boot_vga -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 1.

With linux kernel 2.6.29.1 xorg is unable to find my framebuffer device when I turn on UseFBDev (see log below). The following patch seems to fix it. --- xorg-server-1.6.1.orig/hw/xfree86/fbdevhw/fbdevhw.c 2009-04-23 20:04:20.000000000 +0200 +++ xorg-server-1.6.1/hw/xfree86/fbdevhw/fbdevhw.c 2009-04-23 20:04:55.000000000 +0200 @@ -314,7 +314,7 @@ for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) { sprintf(filename, - "/sys/bus/pci/devices/%04x:%02x:%02x.%d/graphics/fb%d", + "/sys/bus/pci/devices/%04x:%02x:%02x.%d/graphics:fb%d", pPci->domain, pPci->bus, pPci->dev, pPci->func, i); fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY, 0); (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libvgahw.so (II) Module vgahw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.1, module version = 0.1.0 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 (--) MGA(0): Chipset: "mgag400" (G400) (**) MGA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (==) MGA(0): RGB weight 888 (**) MGA(0): Option "HWcursor" "off" (**) MGA(0): Option "UseFBDev" "true" (==) MGA(0): Using AGP 1x mode (**) MGA(0): Using SW cursor (==) MGA(0): Using XAA acceleration (**) MGA(0): Using framebuffer device (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux//libfbdevhw.so (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.1, module version = 0.0.2 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 (WW) open /dev/fb2: No such file or directory (WW) open /dev/fb3: No such file or directory (WW) open /dev/fb4: No such file or directory (WW) open /dev/fb5: No such file or directory (WW) open /dev/fb6: No such file or directory (WW) open /dev/fb7: No such file or directory (EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device (EE) MGA(0): Failed to open framebuffer device, consult warnings and/or errors above for possible reasons (you may have to look at the server log to see warnings)
