Check if some frame buffer drivers are installed
in your system, so e.g. run
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video
to see if there are any frame buffer driver modules
installed.
Then you have to select the suitable driver for your
graphic card and load it by running
modprobe drivername

Usually the driver should be loaded automatically if
it is installed. Maybe some error happened while loading
the driver. Dump the kernel log messages by running dmesg
and check if there was an attempt to load the driver for
your graphic card.
