Maybe, but X11 consumes a lot of resources which could be better spent for the 
application you want to run.

If you don't need to run an application that _only_ supports X11, you could 
use a graphics toolkit that directly uses the framebuffer driver.

GTK, Qt, SDL are all available in embedded versions that use the framebuffer 
instead of X11.

There is a good article on "Embedded Linux and Graphics" on
http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9202043619.html
