I have this curious event with frame buffers invoked under grub (vga=???).
Kernek is 2.6.18,

Initially, it would only accept a terminal type specifications, such as
vga=0f00 or vga=0f07  which were variations of 80x60 chars, etc.

Then it accepted something like vga=771, which si more like 1024x768 and
224 bits.

Now it has gone back to the character terminal format.

Head scratching.
