Sorry for replying so late.
No the config is not the same for me. The problem still persists. I have a
SiS630 graphics card. I tried your vga code. did not work.
For framebuffer I read somewhere that you have to use 791 for vga code in
your lilo.conf. But when I use that code the normal text only mode does not
restore after X shutdown, though I can type my commands and either restart
the computer or restart X.
I will try and upgrade the kernel - if that helps.

Forget the Framebuffer =( (or teach me please =), try a minor resolution. I
have this in lilo.conf:
vga=0x0f06
it's working for me.
