Seeking information on the frame buffer

[Glen Stormbind]

Hi people,

I'm looking to create a display system but I'm stuck before beginning.

I know pretty much what I'm hoping to create, and have the design
concept mapped out, but it will be my first low-level project and I
don't know diddly-squat about frame buffers :(

Soooo... can someone please point me in the right direction to getting
started with the frame buffer? Thanks for your time!
