Hi, I just had the same problem. By doing an "strace" on a direct invocation of the "Xsun" X server, I noticed it tryed to access() a lot of framebuffer like devices on /dev (cgsix, cgthree, bwtwo,...) of which the last one was "/dev/fb" and then gave up. I then symlinked /dev/fb to /dev/fb0 ("ln -s /dev/fb0 /dev/fb") and it started working again.
hope this helps.
