Did you add a 'vga=' or 'video=' argument to your kernel command line?
I have a cheap card so I use the VESA framebuffer. In my dmesg output
is :
vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe7000000, mapped to 0xd080d000, size 4096k
vesafb: mode is 1280x1024x24, linelength=3840, pages=0
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c7dc:0000
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: directcolor: size=0:8:8:8, shift=0:16:8:0
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device
do you have anything similar?

If your company is not involved in something called "ISO 9000" you
probably have no idea what it is. If your company _is_ involved in ISO
9000 then you definitely have no idea what it is.
