I want to make framebuffer work in console only Debian installation.
I find many of the howto's on the web won't work for current Debian
Stable - or I'm just too stupid to figure them out.

I want to get fbi and links2 -g working in console.

I tried entering in console:

sudo mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0

But when I reboot /dev/fb0 does not exist.

I've had links2 -g working before - I've got libdirectfb-dev
libdirectfb-bin and all the files I can find with directfb to install.

I am working on Debian Stable command line only.
