--- Comment #14 from Stefan Dirsch sndirsch@suse.com --- Ok. I have no idea, why there is no single framebuffer mode available. There should be with kernel boot options
nomodeset vga=792
BTW, this GPU is from 2002! And it's an AGP card! I would guess the Matrox G400, which appears to work, is a PCI card.
What about combining your machine with a CRT monitor from 2002 and be happy with 1024x768 in framebuffer mode. ;-)
