I've seen something like that when playing with the 2.5 kernel series
(around 2.5.7x, I assume). The screen looked like an unsynced monitor,
totally unreadable.

Compaq Evo N800C, Radeon Mobility  7500 w/32MB RAM, built-in TFT running
@1400x1050. Video-related kernel arguments are:

 video=radeonfb,mtrr,ywrap

which works pretty smooth with the current gentoo-2.4.20 kernel. During
boot, it starts with 40x80 text display, and switches over to 1400x1050
very soon. Best regards,

p.s.: Do you see an effect of your screen staying dark during boot every
now and then, coming back to live if you switch the console back and
forth?
