mmaping framebuffer on focal, teres

I'm not familiar with the a64 graphics driver and some tty graphics software of mine is failing on Armbian Ubuntu Focal after working fine on the Bionic image.

 

Earlier I was able to mmap() /dev/fb0 to display graphics in a tty.  On Focal 20.04, running linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 , mmap() on /dev/fb0 is failing with EPERM (operation not permitted).

 

Is this new error something anybody knows about or could give a link to find a possible driver change that's responsible?  It seems there might be a few different video drivers on this system and I haven't looked at them before.

 

/sys/class/graphics/fb0/name contains sun4i-drmdrmfb

/sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/modalias contains of:Ndisplay-engineT(null)Callwinner,sun50i-a64-display-engine

 

Thank you.
