When you start, edit the kernel config to define the vga mode. A good safe one 
is "vga=0x318" for 1024x768, and if that helps "vga=ask" to try other settings 
if your hardware supports them. When you find what you want, you can make it 
permanent in /boot/grub/grub.conf for future use.

Note that you will probably get the vesafb as you frame buffer, there is a 
module called radeonfb but I haven't seen it used.
