Xfbdev fails with "no screens found"

[zt.tmzt at gmail.com]

Hi.
Could you explain in more detail what you are trying to do, include the
output of fbset on your hardware and what framebuffer driver you are using?

Xfbdev is not a nested server, don't see how setting DISPLAY would help.

If you can, please strace Xfbdev and include that as well. I assume an IOCTL
is failing though I don't see any detailed logs. Xfbdev is based on the
kdrive X server, it doesn't have the same configuration or logging as Xorg
servers do. Why do you need to use Xfbdev, does Xorg (fbdev driver) not
work?

Thanks,
Timothy Meade
