No console framebuffer

G'day folks,

A recently (re)built Ultra 10 has now been fitted with a Creator card (it
was not present during the OS install). The installed OS (and patched with
the latest Recommended cluster) is 8 2/02. But, the machine complains during
boot that "Cannot find driver for console framebuffer" and X refuses to
display on the console (although the server, dtgreet, etc. are running).

I have done some google'ing and gotten a local sysadmin (I'm not on site
today) has applied patch 108606-31 and rebooted - but with no apparent
effect.

Can anybody suggest what we may have forgotten to do?
Thanks in advance for any help. Ciao.
