Yes.  This is a totally new RedHat 6.0 installation.  I downloaded the
latest GGI snapshot and recompiled and reinstalled the entire beast.  There
is no older install that could be conflicting with it.

This is basically the process I was expecting.  The stock kernel DOES
appear to have framebuffer support compiled in, and the /dev/fb0 etc
devide nodes DO exist... but I'll try recompiling the kernel just to
be certain.  I am also willing to try compiling a KGIcon driver... does
one exist for the STB Velocity 128?  Thanks for the advice.  I'll hammer
away at this for a while longer before I come crying to the list again.

P.S.  I am sooooo close to releasing the alpha version of my game API.
