framebuffer problem in 2.6.9?

["H. S." <greatexcalibur@yahoo.com>]

I just downloaded and compiled the kernel-source 2.6.9 of Debian after 
applying swsusp2 patches. First I tried with my current config file 
(2.6.7) but the frambuffer seemed not be working properly. Using 
vga=791, I was not getting anything meaningful during the boot process. 
Just some noise in the top 25% or so of the screen. I then removed the 
framebuffer support and recompiled and now 2.6.9 boots okay (but with 
the usual lower resolution of course). Anyone else experience this problem?
