ah, okay.  these error messages are just sloppy logging on my part.
It's failing to load because your /dev/fb is ill suited for full color
graphics, but the "No such file or directory" error message is coming
from the missing (but optional!) header.  I'm basically printing the
wrong error message in the log.

So this should get fixed when we use drm instead of /dev/fb in
rawhide.  I did some of the work toward that end yesterday, and will
try to do the rest in the near future, so hopefully things will start
working for you after that.
