You must choose FB if you have a FB device which you don't seem to have
(/dev/fb0 doesn't exists)
Choose X11 instead. (edit the config file and set the GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM to
X11)

You haven't any FB device setup. Recompile the kernel and enable it if you
want to have one.

X11 should work èretty well (after having startx :-) )
