Not knowing monitor resolution, graphics card, I'd suggest adding vga=ask, probe for video modes, and selecting an option, that could work right?
box1: Arch (linux-3.17-rc5)
box2: Gentoo (linux-3.17-rc5)
wm: subtle

Yep, you should listen to S3ktor first but if u still have problems u must check is the correct module even loading?
"lsmod|grep fb"
"lsmod|grep vesa"
But as I can see fbcon is not to be found in 2.6.30-ARCH so u might have a look at this wiki pages:

I think that they slowly replacing this framebuffer drivers in favour of KMS being under development for ATI/nVIDIA and Intel already have it, even now I saw some reports that framebuffer modules could be messing up with the 3d driver...
