As you are using a debian system it should be very easy to enable
framebuffer - afterwards you should not experience any problems. You
need to add the argument vga=791 to the bootargs in your bootloader
config. For grub (default on debian systems) this is /boot/grub/menu.lst
Search the entries corresponding to your bootmenu (quite at the end of
the file) and add the argument. For the meaning of 791 and a more
detailed tutorial i suggest doing a google search :)
After a reboot your framebuffer should be activated.
