I'm making progress.
At least I got a /dev/fb0 now:
$ ls -l /dev/fb*
crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 2010-03-21 14:08 /dev/fb0
What I did was adding "fbdev" at the end of my boot line. In addition I
got high resolution VTs. Still not the monitors native resolution but a
massive improvement. This "fbdev" seems to be valid only for EFI, but at
least for me that works, although I've got a standard Award BIOS. In
addition I got the graphical boot splash from plymouth without KMS.
The backside is, that still I am unable to start a VM using SDL:
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2010-02-03 18:27)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using Generic 64bit memcpy()
(!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' failed
--> Permission denied
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system_core' core!
--> Initialization error!
Could not initialize SDL - exiting
It doesn't make a difference if I try to start it with my user account
or with sudo, "permission denied" in both cases.
