my setting
Code:

The problem is the ATI Radeon display support, you want this turned off I believe. I don't remember the exact issue but I believe it conflicts with the ATI propriatary drivers. This also means you will have to change the "radeonfb" in your grub.conf. "vesafb" should work, or, if you are using x86, you could look up how to use vesafb-tng. Also, the "1280x1024-24@60" only works with vesa-tng. Here is my grub entry:
Code:

title=Gentoo Linux
  root (hd0,0)
  kernel /kernel root=/dev/sda3 vga=795 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr splash=silent,fadein,theme:tux quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
  initrd (hd0,0)/boot/fbsplash-tux-1280x1024


This is what I would suggest you use for your situation:
Code:

kernel /bzImage-2.6.15-r1 root=/dev/hda6 vga=795 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr splash=silent,theme:emergence CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet
initrd /fbslash-emergence-1280x1024


"vga=795" means "1280x1024-24@60". You can also play with removing either ywrap or mtrr or both until you get one that works.

Let me know if this helps at all.

PS.
