hi Sojan
1.
i what i think there should always be a frame buffer device otherwise
how X server can work on my machine .....( its my thinking may be wrong )
so having a penguin boot logo is not the sign of having a framebuffer
device
btw i dont get any logo at boot time
2. yes in /proc/devices
it shows "fb" character device with major device no 29
