My main point was, don't be surprised the X servers, like the ATI
driver, don't use fbdev and instead just mmap the device and simply
program it directly.
fbdev is nice, in the specific cases where the device fits the fbdev
model, because once you have the kernel bits you have X support :)
Franks a lot,
