Ah. I doubt it, since /screen/ probably does squirrelly stuff.
Grant privs to fb0 *before* you start /screen/? With udev, maybe?

I dubt that simple premission stuff would solve the issue. Even if you
log in in console as root and start screen, then framebuffer programs do
NOT work (but svgalib programs do work on achitectures that have it).
For example, fbgs says:

ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument (not a linux console?)

Good point.

I also dubt that udev will ever be able to do anything useful, but I
cannot be sure since for my good luck I do not use it.

udev is very important to modern SCSI-heavy kernels, since the SCSI
subsystem has always had the irksome habit of renaming existing
devices if a new devices is added.
