I have similar problem on ATI mach64 system. After checking system, I found FB support is enabled only on Matrox system, if you are using default kernel.
I recompiled kernel with ATI, VGA, SVGA enabled. Now my boot console screen goes crazy. I am playing with it now. (Teleneting from other machine.) BTW, if you have XF86Config-4, it overides XF86Config.
