X scripts serve for all the boards. And we also can't assume all the 
boards use the same
framebuffer device. So how to detect whether the framebuffer device 
exists is board dependent.
Maybe we can see whether the device /dev/fb0 exists(it could be created 
manually, so we should try to open it to verify)
or the file /proc/fb exists to confirm the framebuffer device. Anyway, 
any modification should be
tested on all boards to see whether it works. I prefer to mark it as 
todo task in 1.1
