I reported here on 5/18/2008 that I couldn't use vga=791 with the Debian
2.6.25 kernel, but *could* with the 2.6.25 from kernel.org.
Same issue with 2.6.26: vga=791 gets "undefined video mode". Yet it
works fine with 2.6.26 from kernel.org, so it is clearly a Debian issue.
In the 2 months that have expired noone has been able to shed light on
this Bug#481063.
Too bad. For me 2.6.26-1-686 is unusable.
What response did you get from the Debian Kernel Team
<debian-kernel(at)lists.debian.org> ? I see that only one member of
the team responded to your bug report, so maybe another member or
some other knowledgeable subscriber to that list could be of help.
What do you get from running 'hwinfo --framebuffer' ? The hex
equivalent of decimal 791 is 0x317 -- did you try that as well?
