The green screen (in my experience) is a good sign! You should have a framebuffer device (ie /dev/fb0). You can use applications on the buffer if you want (fbterm, fbi, etc.), or get an X11 server running using it. I posted an xorg.conf that works for me--it's pretty sparse. Then get X started with "startx". I'm using openbox as a window manager and xterm for terminal.
