I2C is not a prerequisite of running X he just needs to configure the X server and it should work. I have run into this before and solved it without building I2C into the kernel (or as a module). All I forgot to do was configure X.

/dev/fb0 is the framebuffer. No need to worry about that if using X. But if
running a splash screen, then it needs to be defined in the kernel. There is
a how-to on gentoo-wiki.org explaining how to setup the system and kernel.
The other, you'll need to re-config your kernel to include -
Device Drivers -->
I2C Support -->
<M> I2C support
<*> I2C device interface
I2C Hardware Bus Support -->
<M > Intel 810/815
And -
Device Drivers -->
Character Devices -->
Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
The above should get you graphics, or at least closer. I don't have your setup, so
I'm doing a best guess on the above.
