But! if you have 'video=radeon:1024x768@60' in /etc/lilo.conf, you are out of luck: 'video=radeon:off' will not work for you in such configuration, because of kernel will see your 'video=radeon:XXX' from /etc/lilo.conf's append before 'video=radeon:off' you typed interactively at LILO prompt. Maybe someone should fix it, but it is not trivial...

If you want text-based framebuffer, I still have vga16fb text mode patch in my kernel tree:
mode "640x480-60" # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz geometry 640 480 640 6553 0 timings 39721 48 16 33 10 96 2 rgba 6/0,6/0,6/0,0/0 endmode
Frame buffer device information: Name : VGA16 VGA Address : 0xa0000 Size : 65536 Type : CGA/EGA/VGA Color text Visual : PSEUDOCOLOR XPanStep : 8 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 160 Accelerator : No Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
