Strange behaviour but finally you got the correct path.

This is usually caused by improper settings of the permissions on 
"/dev/fb0".

./analogclock -qws'

That's strange.

No. You don't need qvfb necessarily. QVFB from the Qt/X11 tools folder is 
only needed in case you want to have a virtual framebuffer on your host 
machine for testing. You don't need this on your target.

If you want to use QVFB on your host you need to get a fresh Qt/X11 
tarball from qtsoftware.com and compile the QVFB from there.
