Framebuffer support in 2.5.46

I'm trying to compile framebuffer support into the 2.5.46 kernel.
I have
	Video mode selection support
	VESA VGA graphics console
	Advanced low level driver options
		8 bpp packed pixels support
		24 bpp packed pixels support

I've tried different modes, including 640x480 x24/x8 and 1280x1024
x24/x8 but all I get is a black screen (the system starts up ok, just no
screen output).
I noticed that, compared to 2.4.18 (which I used before), there is no
"VGA characters/attributes support" option in 2.5.46 - I recall getting a black
screen on the 2.4.18 without this option...
