Thank you Richard!

I think it should work out of the box and the kernel should be OK,
because stifb has been in there for long time.
Do you maybe have "stifb=off or sticon=off" in the kernel commmand line?
Did you enabled a getty for tty0 in etc/inittab ?
What does dmesg say?
Is "/proc/fb0" device there ?
I'm happy to look into it, if you can provide me your image for download 
somewhere...
