Almost but not quite. It boots fine by default but if I try to set the
vga setting to a 1024x768 screen in garbles a 640x480 rectangle in the
middle of my laptop screen and freezes. This mode worked fine under
2.4.x so I know the chip is capable.

lilo.conf

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
alias=l
read-only
vga=0x317
append="video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"

relevant bit out of .config:

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
