Hi I've had the same problem a wile ago with a 2.2.x kernel(I think it was 2.2.12). I've solved it by installing fbset and making a small script and calling it from .bashrc.I was setting the resolution at 800x600 and that worked. I had to call it from .bashrc since it was the only way I could get it to work after login in a vt.(there may be other ways..this one worked). I'm not using anymore the fb so don't know how it works now.
