another way might be patching the vesa bios. if i remember
correctly the previous failures with nvidia card you had
where due to the kernel not recognizing the framebuffer
membars correctly and just mapping the addresses given by
vesa bios with size calculation done from the video mode
requested. when trying to switch to higher mode, the rest
of the framebuffer was not mapped causing kernel panic on
access. this was fixed a while ago but we didnt continue
with trying the bios patching trick...
