I assume that machine is otherwise OK. Can you capture 'dmesg' from such boot and post them?
First: 2.6.0-test2 does not come up with a blank screen.
What is on screen? Correct 640x480 picture?

Second: using fbset to set another mode (1024x768-60) causes a blank screen but changing vts gives me the screen back. It must be using a different frequency since the screen is not inthe same place. setting 680x480-60 makes it look right again. The actual resolution doesn't appear to change. If I have enough written to the screen after issueing the 1024x768, the text becomes garbled (old text seems to interlace into current.
Do you use matroxfb-2.5.72 patch or not? You are not supposed to use fbset on stock 2.6.x kernel (without patch above), you should use stty cols & rows to set videomode under 2.6.x kernels (you can try using fbset -pixclock to set refresh, but never change picture size through fbset).
