The problem with "ask" is it will only list VGA parameters (that is,
text-only screens, not framebuffer stuff). You have to RTFM first to
know what to enter as the mode (I use 0x31A to get 1280x1024x24).

Go ahead and try. VESA fb isn't capable of changing modes on-the-fly,
only at boot time. Thus I can only display the current settings with
fbset and nothing more. Your fb may be able to set properties while
it is in-use.
