Isn't there an enviroment variable that tells what device is the console for the session? How do you tell what serial port you're on when multiple people are logged in on serial lines?
From any program you can do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /proc/self/fd/0 lrwx------ 1 volodya users 64 Sep 18 21:56 /proc/self/fd/0 -> /dev/pts/1
So you get the pointer to the actual device stdin is associated to.

The sysfs scheme has the advantage that there is no special user command required. You just use echo or cp to set the mode.
But it makes it difficult to associate the sysfs entry with the particular session. Seems like permitting multiple opens of /dev/fb0 with mode setting done on that file pointer will be easier to keep straight
