Booting with the default kernel 2.6.17 and checking loaded modules
suggests the kernel has correctly loaded i810fb:

$ lsmod | grep fb
i810fb                 33852  0 
vgastate               10240  1 i810fb
agpgart                34888  4 drm,i810fb,intel_agp
fbcon                  41504  0 
tileblit                3840  1 fbcon
font                    9344  1 fbcon
bitblit                 7168  1 fbcon
vesafb                  9244  0 

So my question now is, is i810fb loaded from initrd or later?

I'm trying to detect whether it is actually available to use the GRUB
kernel command-line options - if it isn't then it makes sense that the
splash screen fails AND that any attempt to use "vga=791" results in the
"...undefined mode number" error.
