With the port to the new fbdev interface in kernel
2.5.19 the system now only displays a few unchanging coloured pixels
on the first line of the screen.  The rest of the screen remains black
until X11 starts.  I am using append="video=tdfx:1024x768" in LILO.

I'm tracking down the bug you are experiencing. Almost done.
