Thank you for the "silly" questions. I value those just as highly as the others. 1. Yes, I always run afbinit as root. 2. Yes, I know /dev/fb0 exists because when I 'ls -l' on it, I get: crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 2007-05-28 14:46 /dev/fb0 3. I don't know for sure; however there is no other 'fb...' in /dev, and there is nothing else in /dev that belongs to the 'video' group. I have only one graphics card (I double-checked), and Debian reports finding an Elite3D card, so I am assuming /dev/fb0 points to the right card.
