Well, vga=791 (my usual mode) doesn't work at all. I get a blank screen during 
boot, and a garbled screen if I switch to a console after boot. I haven't 
tried other vga modes and will do so eventually, but somehow I'm pretty sure 
that if 791 doesn't work, others won't either.

I wonder if it might be related to the 1GB Ram + 128MB Video card bug that 
plagued 2.4 kernels until 2.4.22...
