Here's the kernel video mode table, from the linux kernel source
(Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt):

    | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 |  0x301    0x303    0x305    0x307   
32k |  0x310    0x313    0x316    0x319   
64k |  0x311    0x314    0x317    0x31A   
16M |  0x312    0x315    0x318    0x31B   


I don't see a mode 0x0f05.

Try one of the modes listed in the table, and see if you have better
results.
