It's not working on my Lombard in 24-bit mode.  15-bit mode works
fine.  Specifically, the server says:

   No valid modes found

at startup when 24bpp is specified.  It doesn't say why it is not
valid, it just doesn't work.  Since it works in 15bpp mode, that seems
rather odd.

Also, starting the screen saver causes the following:

  Fatal server error:
  fbdevUpdateColormap: FBIOPUTCMAP failed (Function not implemented)

That would be nice to have fixed.  This did the same thing for 3.3.3.

You need to use a frame buffer device that's specific for your hardware, not
just offb.
