It turns out there was a little more to this than just a symlink for /dev/fb to /dev/fb0. In my case, /dev/fb0 somehow had perms
crw--w--w- 1 root tty 29, 0 Mar 30 22:46 /dev/fb0 so running X as root worked fine after the symlink but still failed for normal user. Once I added the user to group tty and added read to the group perms X starts fine for normal user. What should the perms be for the /dev/fb* devices? Should MAKEDEV have run for one of the updates and didn't?
