"Blanking out" could be a feature of your monitor reacting to video data that it objects to rather than anything more complicated. Maybe set up your monitor and resolution using system-config-display while using vesa and try again with radeon now you know you can use the runlevel 3 grub method instead of recovery boot. If it fails again, examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log on the next reboot into runlevel 3. Gilboa's plan is worth trying too, unfortunately the manufacturer binary drivers are the only things that will work on some video chip / motherboard / BIOS combinations. -Andy
