Headless TeamViewer setup on CentOS 7 (/dev/fb0 missing)?
Running CentOS 7 on a VPS. Would like to run `teamviewer setup` in order to set up headless operation. When I attempt to run it I'm getting:
"The framebuffer console seems to be unavailable or has the wrong format. Please make sure that /dev/fb0 is accessible and it is configured to 32-bit depth."
What's the proper method to set up the framebuffer driver in CentOS 7 in such a situation so that we can run TeamViewer?

So I found working solution for TeamViewer on CentOS 7: Use TeamViewer Host from:
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/The good news is that TeamViewer is working to remove dependency on WINE which will even resolve the issue(s) going forward on the other version of TeamViewer for Linux.

The more I dig into this, the more convoluted things are appearing. Not getting a straight answer on which way to go here with other sources. I'm not finding a precompiled kernel for CentOS 7 and so it is starting to look like we're going to have to unfortunately compile our own kernels here. Just not a real desirable option for reproduction and simple support as I think TeamViewer is going after...

So I decided to jump ship on the default provisioned Linode kernel and went to the CentOS 7 default kernel. `/dev/fb0` became available right off the bat, but we still get the same resultant output when attempting setup:
$teamviewer setup
