For one thing, why use VESA framebuffer when there's native riva support? Compile riva support in the kernel (CONFIG_FB_RIVA=y). Add something like append="video=riva:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] bit is from /etc/fb.modes (though that is a custom mode, tweaked for my monitor; you'll have to RTF file and pick a mode that works for you).
