If you can somehow dump the registers of the working and non-working mode,
we might be able find a pattern.

If you don't know how to dump the register contents, let me know and I'll
send you a userspace utility to do that.

Is it possible for the kernel driver to use Bios switching?

   

Currently, no.

 

Vassilis,

Try http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ for a
vesafb that supports bios mode switching and dump the regs
if it works for you.

 Knut
