Its very unlikely that you'll find any configuration related to this,
but the BIOS programs the video chip at POST time, and a lot of that
programming is relevant even when you use the vga16fb driver.

That's newer than the one I have; one wonders if they broke something...

Can you use vesafb instead of vga16fb? That should be far more reliable.
