For me, X + fb worked with a little help of
mkxf86config.sh
;-)
emerge mkxf86config and run it and have a look, maybe it helps

Hi - When trying to run X I'm getting the message Fatal server
error: Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specifiy bus IDs for
all framebuffer devices. I'm running an IBM pentium 2 laptop, with
the genkernel from 2005.1 stage 3 install. Any help would be really
appreciated. Thanks, Richard
Knowing what video chip is involved, what kernel module
you're trying to
use with it, and what settings you have in Xorg (the contents of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be good
here), would be
useful info to have in order to attempt to help; we are not psychic
(this week, as far as I know).
Also, are you trying to run in framebuffer mode (and it's not working,
obviously), or are you not supposed to be running in framebuffer mode
(so you're making an incorrect request when starting the X
server, which
needs to be corrected)?
