Did it ever exist? Somehow I doubt it since I can't think of a  
generic way to deal with a PCI framebuffer without firmware help. For  
instance, which BAR maps the framebuffer? Or, if you want to use it  
as generic VGA you still need firmware help to enable it, nowhere  
near all PCI graphics chips power up in VGA mode.
If the BeBox firmware sets up a graphics mode of some sort and you  
can get parameters like video memory address, width, height, stride  
and depth you can simply use genfb.

have fun
