+This code is dependant upon the direct frame buffer library.  It requires 
+that the file /dev/fb be present this means that the kernal level frame 
+buffer driver must be loaded.  In order to load the svga (vesa) frame buffer 
+you must load it in grub.conf.  This requires adding the following line to 
+one of the boot kernels:
+
+kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-61.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr 
+vga=788
+
+This fb driver is only activated at boot time and the settings can not be 
+changed using fbset.  You can also try loading the module as root if you know 
+your cards maker.
