Irrelevant.  The #include  is only there in an attempt to 
resolve the type of the inserted kernel memory list pointer.

I don't know how to handle this properly, though.

Don't assume problems with test kernels need to be resolved here.

You didn't get it. Including linux kernel headers in user space is a no no. 
See various threads about this on LKML. Bottom line: If you include kernel 
headers and your app breaks it's your fault not ours.
Leave religion out of this.
1) Xfbdev has always been Linux-specific.
2) Driving /dev/fb* as anything other than a dumb framebuffer isn't possible
   without linux/fb.h's ioctl's.
rc1 is broken WRT this problem.  Fix this there.

I realized that the cvs compiles fine with linux-2.4, but not the fbdev 
doesn't compile under 2.6.9rc1.

rc1 inserts a pointer to kernel memory into the middle of the fb_monspecs 
structure. So, either more of linux/fb.h needs to bracketed with #ifndef 
__KERNEL__, or rc1 breaks userland binary compatibility (among other 
things). In both cases, this is a kernel issue.
