> I think it depends on your specific framebuffer driver. It does. I use the rivafb driver on this computer, and it doesn't support kernel arguments at stat-up, so 'vga=whatever' doesn't work with this driver. Instead, you need to edit the fbdev.c file in linux/drivers/video/riva, and change the default settings within "struct fb_var_screeninfo rivafb_default_var", to match the settings that you want from /etc/fb.modes. Since I was satisfied with 640x480 but wanted a better refresh rate (from 60 to 100Hz), I had to change pixclock to 22272, left_margin to 48, right_margin to 32, upper_margin to 17, lower_margin to 22, hsync_len to 128, vsync_len to 12. Hopefully this is useful to someone else. Thanks for cluing me on referring to 'documentation' (what's that?!).
