Naming it after something it is only in a broad sense makes no sense to
me. I'd be looking in /sys/.../framebuffer instead of /sys/.../graphics
or /display.

Notice that /display is what is used by most OF implementations, so this
kinda makes sense. I would vote like BenH on this if i was consulted.

OF implementations?

Display would be the EDID info of my screen (physical), and graphics...
well... I'd half expect something like capture cards to be there...

But this also makes sense, still, i guess we are concerned with more
info than just the framebuffer, right ?

Yup. What's in a name indeed. But one might try to make it as non-confusing as 
possible.

Kind regards,
