What target (fbcon I suppose), what driver (kgicon or "real" fbcon) ?

It can. The underlying target is denying the mode for some reason.

If it is a kgicon driver: What monitor driver ? You should use
"generic", _and_ use setmon as appropriate.

If it is a "traditional" fbcon driver: Get the latest CVS source. I just
commited a fix that allows /etc/fb.modes to be used and thus switch
modes with fbcon drivers nicely. It requires that you first create and
populate that file, of course.

CU, Andy
