Don't know the specifics of your hardware but I use vesa framebuffer which works fine for me (stationary pc, radeon 3870). However, for some reason, the radeon cards I have (all rv600+) do not seem to support the standard vga modes; I had to use a tool (vbetest from package lrmi) to find out the number to put into the kernel command line. I use vga=804 to achieve 1280x1...@24. Don't know if this will help but it can probably (don't know for sure) find the supported modes... HTH Best regards Peter K
