Ok I set it up in /dev with the correct major and minor numbers and
recompiled and installed libggi but every demo gives the error:

display-fbdev: Couldn't open framebuffer device /dev/fb0: Operation not
supported by device

my mode flags are rw for everyone (666) and it is a character special
file.

What am I not doing correctly?   I also did an
export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb0

before I ran any demos.

HELP!!!
