It does work in cirrus mode for 1024x768. I was under the impression that it was all the cirrus driver would support. However, the std-vga mode supports vga 799 and 798 in the console. (1600x1200:24bpp and 1600x1200:16bpp respectively)
Here is the output from dmesg showing the console working: vesafb: abort, cannot reserve video memory at 0xe0000000 vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xffffff0000011000, size 8192k vesafb: mode is 1600x1200x24, linelength=4800, pages=0 vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: directcolor: size=0:8:8:8, shift=0:16:8:0 mtrr: your processor doesn't support write-combining fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 200x75 -Kyle
