I'm guessing the answer to my question is in manipulating the kernel command line. But with what arguments? (and does the kernel have it's own fonts to be used on a FB device?)
The host is a ARM9 based embedded system with a 1-bit LCD screen.
This is a prelude question to: Naming a Frame buffer Device

It will use a USB keyboard if it's built with the USB HID and keyboard drivers. Passing video=XXX to the kernel tells it which framebuffer driver to load. See the kernel documentation in Documentation/fb/ for more details.

So vga=XXX specifies /dev/fb0? or would I use vga=/dev/fb? – Jamie – 2010-07-08T16:58:55.023

You would probably get a better answer for this question on superuser.com – None – 2010-07-08T17:20:27.593
Perhaps, but the follow-on questions are programming related ... – Jamie – 2010-07-08T17:30:38.440
