here is my dmesg output.
as you can see below intelfb claims no video mode configured at boot time
inspit is does.

Intelfb doesn't support mode switching on non-CRT devices, I've
contemplated doing the work, but I really don't have a requirement for
it and it is a lot of work..

I have seen a board (Kontron CP306 3U CompactPCI) with which intelfb
always claims that there is a non-CRT device connected - but the board
has only a VGA output.  Probably this is just another broken BIOS...

I'm not sure how you can get the mode set to 1024x768 before intelfb runs..

Building intelfb into the kernel and using the vga=... parameter like
with vesafb used to work in this case.
