I believe the J5000 has a Visualize EG PCI card, and that should
be working.

fbset -i will give you all the geometry you need, but won't work
without the compiled fbdev.

You need to go into [Console Drivers] and turn on the frame-buffer
support for your system ("Generic STI Framebuffer Support").
