You can check the ID with "fbset -i".
If you meant the accelerator ID is included in the fbset reply, I don't see it, but did paste the mode info into my /etc/fb.modes file. If you meant run 'fbset -i' and if it replies with something sane, it was OK -- it was OK.
You can prepend the output of "fbset" on the console to "/etc/fb.modes". This makes the working console mode DirectFB's default, unless you are using the "mode=" option.
I've done that now, and had previously tried a lot of different things in the fb.modes file. 1024x768 is my desired res. In fact, I've been trying to set that for the power-up value via arguments to the kernel boot line.
I'd not had any success getting it to seem to do anything with the arguments, but just realized the kernel args (in grub.conf) are being applied to the /dev/fb1 device. (?!?)

-- the 'vga=<mode>' arg here is being applied to /dev/fb1 --

Is it possible having the second FB device is what is confusing things? directfbrc specifies to use /dev/fb0.
