For an already-installed system, in theory it should work to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read Driver "fbdev" instead of Driver "vesa", but I could not get it to work, possibly due to the required drivers not loading properly. However, installing from a live environment booted with xorg=fbdev appears to create a working installation with everything set up correctly for X to start up using fbdev by default.
i had this same issue as OP on my 701 -
modifying xorg.conf ended up messing up my system which is so slow it was a pain to recover, so i just reinstalled the os entirely. can confurm the `xorg=fbdev` before booting the live disk image worked and propagated to the installed OS.
