Hi,

I have the ati 128 fury and i could configure it with FBDev (and kernel
2.2.5, RedHat 6)

I think the 0317 value is when you answer to the lilo prompt (when vga=ask)
This is in hexa.
But in /etc/lilo.conf you must put it in decimal: 791


Here are other values:

Colors      800x600                1024x768

16bits      0314 (788)            0317 (791)
24bits      0315 (789)            0318 (792)

And look at mini-howto for vesa

Good luck
