If I'm understanding the related Qt docs[1] properly, the -device switch
influences the default platform plugin used?

You might get it to run after a "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs" or so,
though I only played with linuxfb a bit that way.

If that doesn't work and nobody else has an answer, the Qt Interest
mailinglist[2] might be a better place to ask.
