fbset alone return mode info, but I cannot get it to change settings.

KM30.2 nVidia GFMX4000

Code:

root@mythtv:~# fbset

mode "640x480-73"
    # D: 30.720 MHz, H: 36.923 kHz, V: 73.260 Hz
    geometry 640 480 640 480 8
    timings 32552 80 32 16 4 80 4
    rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,8/0
endmode

Code:

from /usr/src/linux/.config:
#
# Console display driver support
#
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y

Code:

/etc/lilo.conf stripped of comments:
vga=769

lba32

boot=/dev/hda

root=/dev/hda1

install=/boot/boot-menu.b

map=/boot/map

delay=20

append="apm=power-off nomce"

default=Linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13.2-chw-3
        label=Linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
        read-only

image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=LinuxOLD
        read-only
        optional

I'm trying to do something like:
fbset -a -g 800 600 720 520 8
...to overcome the overscan on the VT consoles.
