the last one i didn't, i've tried several prevous version & fbdev bk's
but no luck

AIW radeon7500 AGP:
if i pass some options (for ex. 1024x768)
the system freezes somewere in init
if i don't pass anything system boots fine,
but fbset garbels everything and console is not usable

Geforce4 PCI 
tottal freeze at initialisation
with/without a nice screen with all colors

got smth interesting if loaded as module:

rivafb: nVidia device/chipset 10DE0172
rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 0 being used
rivafb: RIVA MTRR set to ON
rivafb: PCI nVidia NV20 framebuffer ver 0.9.5b (nVidiaGeForce4-M, 2MB @
0xE0000000)

and the card is
