interbird, you might want to "cat /etc/modules" and see if the expected text was actually written to that file because those two commands shouldn't have worked as you expected them to. The sudo echo "blah" bit no doubt worked, but the redirection should have failed.

Try:
echo "fbcon" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo "vesafb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
