It did - thanks!

I've tried two things. This:

   modprobe rivafb     <-- loads OK, no visual side effects
   modprobe fbcon      <-- garbage graphics, complete hang

And this:

   modprobe rivafb     <-- loads OK, no visual side effects
   fbset 640x480-60    <-- screen turns black, complete hang

The mode looks like this:

   mode "640x480-60"
       # D: 25.175 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.94 Hz
       geometry 640 480 640 480 8
       timings 39722 48 16 33 10 96 2
    endmode

I haven't found any crash reports or similar in /var/log/messages. The
system simply freezes completely.
