Radeonfb (new driver) problem with kernel 2.6.4

Booting with kernel command line parameter
"video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@85" gives only a blank screen: system works,
and X starts flawlessy, but framebuffer console doesn't display
anything. Framebuffer works correctly only with refresh 60Hz. There are
no error messages and dmesg output is the same I have on 2.6.3 (working
flawlessy with the same command line and kernel configuration):

kernel 2.6.3 and kernel 2.6.4:
