so what should be the final moral of the story 

1. do RH6.2 default installation have any thing like frame buffer 
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2. If yes where ??

3. If not Do compiling kernel with such support will enable me to do so


what i have studied in how graphics is managed in OS for machine
independence is using a framebuffer on wich our program can write and now
its task of OS  to convert it to physical display, m i right ....?

so same should be the things with linux as well 

yes it is  possible that that space is in kernel space ....
