It fails with it. The attached xorg.conf is the working one.
Fixing the bug title.

AFAIR the issue of crashing X server on this machine with UseFBDev is a
very old one. I don't know if it is even important to fix. But it would
be nice if somehow a default installation could work. Since I don't know
exactly how this xorg.conf is generated I can't judge whether that is an
easy task or not.

Gruesse,
