What video card do you have?

I have the same problem and someone here said that my video card (SiS620) 
doesn't implement VESA completely.

Just like with you though, Linux doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

I've been looking for info on framebuffers and there isn't very much.
But I think Linux might use graphics modes and FreeBSD doesn't.  I'm not
sure though.
