You can run the Text-Console in different graphic modes. That is called
"framebuffer mode". With vga=791 you tell the framebuffer, that you
would like to run your Text-Consoles with a 1024x768 Resolution and an
colour depth of 16 Bit per Pixel. You may have noticed, that you can
display more than the usual 80 characters and 25 lines on the text
console.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
