Hello!
I can't get the frame buffer working at the native resolution 1440x900 on my Thinkpad T400.
Have added the vga option at the kernel line in Grub.
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro devfs=nomount vga=0x355
Have tested with 354, 355 and 356. The screen just goes black.
Here is some info I used.

If you have an nvidia card, try vga=0x365. That's what I use on my Dell laptop with a Quadro NVS 135M driving a 1440x900 screen.
Failing that, use vga=ask and it will give you a list of all the modes the card you have supports.

Have tested with 868 and 0x365. They are not supported. And ASK won't list 1400x900 resolution.
The laptop has a ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3470 GPU.
