Okay, here's the new code based on this:
# use fbcon kernel functions?
USE_FBDEV=
if [ -e /proc/fb ]; then
FB_TYPE="$(awk '{print $2}' < /proc/fb)"
# did we actually get back anything?
if [ -n "$FB_TYPE" ]; then
case "$FB_TYPE" in
OFfb|VESA)
# generic framebuffer that doesn't support UseFBDev
;;
*)
# other framebuffers do support UseFBDEV
USE_FBDEV=yes
;;
esac
fi
fi
if [ -n "$USE_FBDEV" ]; then
auto_answer db_input high xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev "true"
else
db_get xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev || debug_report_status "db_get
xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev" "$?"
if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then
debug_echo "xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev is \"true\" but /proc/fb does
not exist, is empty, or reports a framebuffer type with which UseFBDev cannot be used;
setting template to \"false\""
db_set xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev false
