4 It sounds like you may have forgot to configure Framebuffer Console
5 Support and/or Logo Configuration-->Bootup Logo. Is this a genkernel
6 or roll-your-own kernel config?

8 Also, if you plan on using X with ATI drivers instead of Framebuffer,
9 you should not use the ATI Framebuffer driver. Use the VESA VGA dirver
10 instead. It is a generic VGA driver that works with most cards and will
11 not conflict with the X ati driver family.
