Your machine maybe not RS/6000 clone but Motorola Powerstack clone.
Most of them, called "blackhawk", have CillusLogic 54xx VideoChips,
and X works with specific server called "Xbh", X server for BlackHawk.
So, I suppose you need to install Xbh server with alien to use X.
X_FBDev uses framebuffer support on kernel.
So, if it has no framebuffer devices, or no framebuffer support on it,
you could not use this server.
RS/6000 PRePs have special S3_based framebuffer support.
But Blackhawk haven't.
There was a patch for CirrusLogic54xx based framebuffer support.
(kernel 2.2.14pre....?)
But now, the driver only works on ix86 or any other little-endian
platform, I heard.
Best regards.
