Hi Sandip IIRC, the "vga=" parameter only affects the settings for VGA text mode. As you're using a framebuffer this parameter will be ignored. The control parameter for the framebuffer is given as "video=<foo>". I *think* that you can turn off the framebuffer with "video=none" or "video=vga" - I can't remember exactly which.
