Log message:

Fatal server error:
Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices

is the same we have seen in Karmic in bug 383407. It was fixed in the xserver:

xorg-server (2:1.6.1.901-2ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Add xserver-1.5.0-bad-fbdev-thats-mine.patch - If no xorg.conf is
    specified, framebuffer device can erroneously grab the PCI. Make
    it fail instead in this case.
