Autoconfig redeemed. I stopped gdm, killing X, and edited xorg.conf by hand. X -probeonly reported no /dev/fb0 - it never occurred to me to look. The generic kernel no longer has the framebuffer enabled, so using fbdev is no longer possible in the default config. There was a way to force loading framebuffer from grub, wasn't there? Hope this info helps, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how to work around the original video issue.
