Are you sure your system has /dev/fb1?  The two systems I setup using
PVR-350's have fb0.  That would be the first thing I would verify.

And double check the PCI bus ID for your system.

Which OS are you using?  I set this up on an FC3 system earlier this
year.  For FC3 I added the vga line to the kernel line.

This weekend I will be setting this up on an FC4 system as well.  The
FC4 instructions I don't see anything about adding vga=791 on the kernel
lines.
