I'm running Debian Stable (kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64) with a framebuffer console working ok with the following settings: /etc/default/console-setup does not exist in /etc/console-tools/config I have: BLANK_TIME=30 BLANK_DPMS=off POWERDOWN_TIME=30 SCREEN_FONT=lat0-sun16 SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat0-sun16 SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat0-sun16 SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat0-sun16 SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat0-sun16 SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat0-sun16 and in /boot/grub/menu.lst I have: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=XXX initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 where XXX is something from: (0x0312 would give me 640x480 with 24 bits per pixel) % sudo hwinfo --framebuffer 02: None 00.0: 11001 VESA Framebuffer <snip> Mode 0x0300: 640x400 (+640), 8 bits Mode 0x0301: 640x480 (+640), 8 bits Mode 0x0303: 800x600 (+800), 8 bits Mode 0x0305: 1024x768 (+1024), 8 bits Mode 0x0307: 1280x1024 (+1280), 8 bits Mode 0x030e: 320x200 (+640), 16 bits Mode 0x030f: 320x200 (+1280), 24 bits Mode 0x0311: 640x480 (+1280), 16 bits Mode 0x0312: 640x480 (+2560), 24 bits <snip> Mode 0x0348: 1400x1050 (+2800), 16 bits Mode 0x0352: 2048x1536 (+8192), 24 bits Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown This configuration has been working for me for years with practically any 2.6.x kernel in Debian and Ubuntu.
