Okey, I went over the settings, and I have a few suspicious things.

First of, do you load the framebuffer console module? The one in
drivers=>Graphics support=>Console display driver support, AKA
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE ?? This is an absolutely necessary module.
The other module I am interested in is VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL ?
Third you might want to try with FB_TILEBLITTING, in
drivers=>Graphics support=>Support for frame buffer devices
Also, you might want to explore VGA_SWITCHEROO (not too much logic in
that, I just have it compiled in, it's a shot).

Turns out VESA really isn't the problem - I just discovered I had it
compiled right in all this time. :)
