To get the framebuffer server, go to xfree86.org and download the server (FBdev). Then put that server into your /usr/X11R6/bin directory. Next you'll need to move your X symlink to that server. There is no frame buffer option is xf86config. If you are using a Tecra 8100, Tim Roberts has just updated his SVGA server to support the savage/mx card. www.probo.com/timr/savagemx.html
