I guess you got the same problem as I. This is due to the fact that no
framebuffer driver has, currently, support for sysfs, so fb* nodes won't
get created in /dev.
Marco introduced a conf file /etc/udev/links.conf in which I added
some lines to get the framebuffer nodes in /dev (and adb too since it
is not handled by udev either)
If you do not use UseFBDev directive in XF86Config just ignore my
answer ;)
