I've had the same problem. I've tried using radeonfb and it's never worked yet since 2.5.69. In 2.6.0, no matter what mode I select, I get a horizontal frequency of 140kHz and a ~90Hz vertical sync. My monitor blanks and pops up the on-screen menu with the horizontal frequency high-lighted in red. My monitor supports up to 110kHz horizontal according to my X log.
I compiled just the vesafb in as well, but it does the exact same thing. It doesn't matter what values or modes I put in the vga/video parameter. Only the text mode works now, and after only 2 days uptime I've noticed I no longer have the full vertical screen. When I type, random text or colored/flashing blocks appear in the bottom (roughly) 1/5th of the screen. Actually, anytime I run an ncurse app in my console, it gets smaller. Now my console only occupies 1/2 the screen, but it doesn't seem to get any smaller than that. I'm using the boot parameter "vga=0x132".
My point is maybe your screen isn't blank, but rather the horizontal frequency is out of your monitor's range?
Certainly, something has changed, because with 2.6.0-test11 I was running "vga=0x31B video=vesafb:ywrap" and it worked great, whereas now it doesn't work at all with any fb modes.
