Please don't use the term VGA - if you are using LinuxBIOS it doesn't exist.
Period.  When you say "amd frame-buffer support" - does that mean you are
using the "fbdev" or "amd" driver?  Thats a very important distinction -
the former won't do 2D acceleration, the latter will.  Please be very careful
to use the correct terms when reporting your results.

I'm not even sure how you managed to get this framebuffer driver to load.
It is the incorrect framebuffer driver.  You should be using gxfb.
