I'm not saying this is a kernel problem, just hoping someone will recognise the problem and offer a suggestion even if it is I've tried it and it's a piece of garbage.

I have the latest 0901 BIOS installed on the motherboard and both motherboard and video card are Asus.
It seems to be incorrectly sensed so only works with the vesa X driver. My kernel is 3.3.
