Framebuffer Support Missing

I guess when I installed Debian Lenny testing last week, the provided
kernel apparently did not come with modules to support framebuffer
support.  The config shows many fb options as yes or modular and the
framebuffer-support option is set to 'y'.  But there is no /dev/fb
device shown and when I did a find . -iname fb* inside the
/lib/modules directory, I found nothing.

When I look in aptitude for linux-modules, all I find is
linux-modules-2.6.26-1-xen-686 and that is incompatible with my
version; the name is slightly different and it created a separate
directory in /lib/modules with the xen in the name; it does have the
fb modules but I think that xen package is for a 2.6.26.8 kernel if I
read things right.  I would think there should be a linux-modules for
the original 2.6.26-1 image.  Am I missing something or what?
