framebuffer not available

I am trying to run an application that uses framebuffer on 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu.

All need to do is to install a framebuffer device to get开发者_如何学Python rid of the following error.

/dev/fb/0: No such file or directory
framebuffer not available.
FATAL: no framebuffer available

I googled through and found some resources indicating to do that on Grub2 I got nothing though I followed them seamlessly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

some GPU's does not have a frame buffer driver. Such an example is the Tegra2. A kernel upgrade might be a solution.
