Max, if you have time, could you compile a kernel with vesafb enabled
and test this?
plain vesafb works fine, just booted up, relevant config:
-- config-2.4.23 snippet
# Frame-buffer support
#
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CLGEN is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM3 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
# CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
We have vesafb as a module, and the installer modprobes it with no
arguments or other config that I know of. The installer is still using
the 2.4.22 kernel though.
