Cannot write to framebuffer device

Hi, 

I am writing a framebuffer device driver for a vga solution my company 
has developed. I used vfb.c as an example.

The driver loads ok, but when I try  cat /dev/zero > /dev/fb1
I get "No space left on device" and the screen does not turn black.

I use fb1 because on fb0, the vfb driver is loaded so I can load / unload 
our own driver (it says that it is busy when loaded as fb0)
