By enabling framebuffer do you mean passing vga-modes as a kernel 
argument? If you haven't tried that, give it a shot. I have been 
successful in using w3m with full image support with vga modes like 
0x316 ...

The best suited mode will probably be different for you depending on 
your monitor resolution. I would put vga=ask and experiment with all the 
options the kernel provides.

However one word of caution, although w3m worked by itself, emacs-w3m 
failed to display the images in the text terminal. So YMMV.
