    first I have booted lnx-bbc in 640x480 mode and then vga is *vga=785*
    then I again tried with 800x600 mode and then vga is *vga=788*

    when I try with these setting with debian both the times screen became blank.

    dmesg|grep vesafb showing a few lines of information regarding vesafb in
    lnx-bbc but it is nil in case of debian kernel. I think debian kernel can't
    activate the vesafb of KM400 chipset. pls tell me how to solve this .
    please CC to me. thanks
