I did _not_ booted fine. I tried if with vga=795 it booted fine as you and the 
same result as 791 obtained: black screen until X window appears. When I 
switch to pty, black screen or color (and deformed) puzzle of X window 
contain.

I put the same in console and I obtain the same as you.
It's rare thing: I could promise that I compiled 2.6.0 with the same
