Are you installing Alpine in a VirtualBox guest?

Yes, it works if you install it on hdd.

Also it works in a VirtualBox guest if you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modules.conf file and disable wfb module:

Section "Module"
    Load "exa"
    Disable "wfb"
 
    Load "dri"
    Load "dri2"
    Load "glx"
 
    Load "int10"
    Load "vbe"
    Load "fb"
    Load "shadowfb"
    Load "shadow"
    Load "vgahw"
    Load "evdev"
    Load "fbdevhw"
    Load "glamoregl"
EndSection

This seems to work for my virtualbox as a normal user.
