oops, i admit i replied quite hastily...
there is another reason why the device may not be found -- your 
monitor/card/resolution settings are not found in vgadb (this results in an
error message on boot normally).. 

at any rate if the drivers for your card are compiled in the kernel you
should search for an error message on boot to explain why things are not
working... also see if $vgasize is set to a proper resolution/bpp
