On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode.
Is it correct to assume that the 256 modes are faster than 32k, 64k and 16M? E.g., they require fewer CPU cycles to scroll up?
I'm using vga=775 on this machine, because 1280x1024 is the native resolution of the LCD screens, so the display is much sharper this way, and vga=773 on many other systems - both these modes are 256 colors.
It seems like the 32k modes and above take longer to scroll up, but I haven't done any actual tests, it's just an impression.
