I tried to use kernel 2.6.7 but there are almost no framebuffer drivers.

Uh? There are quite a lot of them...

Why is this, can't the drivers from 2.4.x easily be ported to 2.7.x?
What are the obstacles?

The API changed, but it isn't too hard to port old-style drivers to the
new API. If this hasn't happened yet, it's just because nobody yet
really missed that particular driver. However, there are a lot of
drivers available...
