This seems kind of strange to me; I rarely even start X. :)

Have you checked your kernel configuration and enabled framebuffer
support? The configuration depends on your kernel-options, really.
Here's what I have in my GRUB's menu.lst: vga=0x305
video=atyfb:1024x768@60. For mode numbers, check the vesafb.txt file
in the kernel Documentation folder.
Here's the relevant section of it:

So the table for the Kernel mode numbers are:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
32k | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
64k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
16M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B

By the way, after I've settled that, I had to play a little with
fbset to make the best out of my monitor.
This, however, does not concern X, as far as I know. I didn't have
problems with my old X setup, so it's up to you.
