Well, first you mention fbdev, which is concerning.  Make sure you are
using the correct driver.  Secondly, both the panel and the monitor
are being driven at the same timings, so make sure your monitor can 
can handle those timings (which it probably can if the kernel output
is working).    Check your monitor information to see what timings it
thinks it is working with.  Finally, check your xorg.conf to make sure
that the CRT is being turned on and used (double plus points if DDC
worked).
