Where is the best place to look for fbdev programming information/examples?
A hour's googling didn't bring up much at all :(

You can try this.  It's mainly for the 2.6 architecture and also it did not
discuss some of the fb functions (such xxxfb_cursor).  But you should be
okay by combining the above and reading some of the drivers, notably vfb.c
vesafb.c, skeletonfb.c.

http://linux-fbdev.sourceforge.net/HOWTO/index.html

Note, this howto has an old version (for 2.2 kernels which also applies for 2.4)

I think you meant user apps for fbdev.  I also haven't seen any docs for that. 
You can look at the fbutils code for an example.  Should be available on the
same site (linux-fbdev.sf.net)

Yes, initially anyway. But I might end up hacking fbdev if it doesn't do what 
I need :)

Good suggestion (fbutils) I'll start there.

Where does that latest kernel stuff live? Is there a fbdev development tree 
somewhere?
