It's happened on this machine with every kernel I've tried it, right back to
(I'm pretty sure) 2.1 days.
Whenever I try frame buffer support, this is what happens:
1) I can boot up with the logo, lots of characters across the screen, and
Linux happily writing on my console.
2) I can switch to a graphics display, either with KDM/GDM/XDM, or by logging
in and starting X.
3) When I then switch back to a virtual console, the screen blanks and
switches to power-saving mode.
Here's the config:
