Interesting. At least on Apple hardware with UGA or GOP, nomodeset always gets me text only, X won't start. Before X tries to start I get:
[drm:drm_pci_agp_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
DRM: Fill_in_dev failed.

X.log from F19 netinstl shows the fbdev driver is loaded, but there's an error finding screens:

(EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x43420 out of range
unloads vesa, int10, vbe
(EE) Screen(s) found, but non have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error: no screens found.
