Check to see if /dev/fb is linked to anything - if not, you can set it up but may have a problem with booting into multi-user mode.
First, check what output-device is equal to in the output of the eeprom command.
(Save the output as you might need it later - best to save it in a file on another system).
Shutdown the system, setenv output-device screen. Boot -sr to reconfigure into single user mode. This should create your /dev/fb. Shutdown and setenv output-device back to original setting.
Reboot and see if you can now start up X-applications.
