It should end up something like this:

$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer

  Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown

However, you should also be able to redirect by:

$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer > framebuff.txt
[$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer > <output file name>]

and the output will be in framebuff.txt in the same directory where you
ran the command.

One other thing to be aware of; when you do an xorg.server reconfig
there is a section for using framebuffer or not. You might want to run
'configure-debian'|X11 and see if you have FB turned on or not there.
