FBturbo failing with undefined symbol

in the system log this appears:

Log

Your system doesn't seem compatible with the FBturbo driver that you have installed

Remove the fbturbo driver

sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo

make sure the config is removed:

sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
