Thanks for the example. Finally I found my command line was correct (I
used tslib and has not yet tried evdev with success), the problem
actually came from a xorg server bug in version 1.12.4 (which is used by
buildroot 2013.08).  I just fixed the bug in xorg and posted a patch on
this list. The bug make the the xserver option such as "device=xxxx" is
parsed as (key=device=, value=xxxx), but it should be (key=device,
value=xxxx).

Because of this bug, whatever way I tried, I always cannot get Xfbdev
started correctly.

BTW:  before I am going to try 'evdev', would you tell me what's the
major difference between using 'evdev' and 'tslib' for my touchscreen?
Which way is better?  Thanks.

Cheers,
woody
