I just did updates again, and tried as NeverMind suggested in comment 89. As I have Intel 845GL, I did s/nvidiafb/intelfb/. With the default stanza and vga=788 I still have useless ttys, although there is some scrambled junk on the top few rows of each instead of entirely black.
This system also has Mandriva 2008 installed. Console framefuffer video works nicely as expected using it.
