I thought /dev/fb/n was introduced in Linux 2.6. But you say you're
running 2.4. Hmmm... Not sure about this. Either way, I don't think
that this is where the problem is.

Re: [nanogui] error in graphics mode
Hi Gil,
I have missed out this part which could be the problem also.
There isn't any /dev/fb0 on the root system but instead as /dev/fb/0 and I
use the ln command to link it.
