No.
Even worse - my investigations caused temporary monitor failure :(
Cooling about 10 minutes turned it to an operational state.
I see that my problem is probably in the framebuffer code.
Facts that I found:
1) I managed to start X with kernel 2.6.25 adding vga=9 parameter.
2) With FB & default (almost empty) config X switches off my monitor
(probably a symptom of to high frequency)
- ctr-alt-bakspace properly terminates X
- ctr-alt-{+,-} give no visible effects
- ctr-alt-Fn isn't able to switch to VT
I'm sure: a sequence ctr-alt-F1 ctr-alt-bakspace terminates X
- the monitor failure was provoked with this procedure
- on tty1 I wrote: sleep 10; DISPLAY=:0 xvidtune -show
- on tty2: X
Then monitor had switch off (power-on LED green->yellow) as expected :(
and after some delay I saw (LED was still yellow) a violet color on
screen.
System was locked. After reset monitor had a temporary failure.
3) With FB and my config (I've appended it at the end) all modes that I've
tried have a wrong (to low) frequency, for expample
- declared 75 Hz, xvidtune displays 75
- ctrl-panel on monitor (and an visual apperance) gives 49 Hz
- switching VT's works
4) At boot time FB causes >30 seconds delay at ide1 probe:

It's risky to investigate more on my hardware :(
