eek; for a start it should be primitives not primatives.
Second, why do you think you need to make primitives for handling a
framebuffer? Code to make use of /dev/fb (and I suspect several
variants) has already been written by several people so you'd probably
be best off finding a copy. I can't remember the names but a search of
the archives must surely find some pointers. I did a really simple
version for the DEC Itsy several years ago and at least two people asked
for copies over time.
