I have eventually managed to install Etch with the framebuffer disabled
(quite a tough experience).

However, even with the latest backported kernel (2.6.22) the problem persists,
that is, the framebuffer is still messy. At this point this is not much a
problem,
as I had planned to use it only from remote anyway.
