  So I noticed when looking at trying to fix Xcfbpmax.

  Ah, I think I found something:  the framebuffer ioctl interface supports
FBIOGTYPE, which looks like it returns the fbtype structure.  That includes
fb_boardtype, which specifies the type of framebuffer board.  It should be
relatively easy to add that check to Xcfbpmax.
