I had the same problem this morning. I fixed it by changing the last line of
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers from:
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16
to
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16 -dev /dev/fb0
I thought that was odd at the time, since Xsun's manual claims it will try
/dev/fb0, but this did the trick.
