This is a known issue. See similar reports on this page:

That is correct. Currently only vesafb is supported and we don't expect to
be able to support different drivers anytime soon.
If I simply insmod a precompiled i810fb.ko, will it work ?
Could you provide the output of the following commands:
# cat /proc/fb
0 VGA16 VGA
# cat /etc/directfbrc
no-hardware
bg-color=ffdcdad5
screenshot-dir=/var/log
#disable-module=linux_input
# /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.25/bin/dfbinfo

To get these most easily, boot the graphical installer with as extra
parameter: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt.
