Here I have the 2.6.24-15 kernel, which was included in a recent update,
and it appears to be working fine with vga=791. The console switching
works, and the framebuffer seems to be as expected. Do you have
linux-generic and/or linux-image-generic installed? You need the modules
as well as the kernel itself, and those metapackages will pull in what is
needed.

For example: packages. ubuntu. com/hardy/ linux-image- 2.6.24- 15-generic packages. ubuntu. com/hardy/ linux-ubuntu- modules- 2.6.24- 15-generic
