I think they almost all use framebuffer while debian does not. So as
somebody else said, you're probably going to have to recompile your
kernel to get the same result.

I don't think so. My Sarge installations just have vga=773 in the lilo
stanza to switch on fb mode. I've never compiled a Sarge kernel.
