not exactly sure, but I'd look under menuconfig-> Device Drivers->
Graphics support. In particular:
<*> VESA VGA graphics support
VESA driver type (vesafb) (use vesafb-tng on 32-bit)
Console display driver support --->
[*] Video mode selection support (you already have this i think)
<*> Framebuffer Console support (you probably have this already)

don't know if it'll help or not.
