May be you compiled only frambuffer support and none of framebuffer
drivers? You should compile vesa or one of the framebuffer drivers
for supported chipsets.
Do you run these commands as root and from linux console?
If you compiled drivers as modules do you load drivers (e.g. with
modprobe) before fbset?
I have no other ideas. fbset worked fine for me when I used
framebuffer.
