Qingy framebuffer problems
I'm trying to use Qingy for my login, but when it runs, it just says it can't get the framebuffer resolution. When I run fbset, it tells me that /dev/fb0 doesn't exist. I've been looking through man pages and Google all week, but I haven't had any luck finding a solution. I'm using a vanilla Debian kernel (2.6.14-i686), and I've checked the config to make sure the framebuffer drivers are in it. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0
Is the command to create /dev/fb0 . Documentation/devices.txt in the kernel tarball contains all the device nodes and numbers to go with them, just plug that stuff into the mknod command to create the device node.
