What response did you get from the Debian Kernel Team
<debian-kernel(at)lists.debian.org> ? I see that only one member of
the team responded to your bug report, so maybe another member or
some other knowledgeable subscriber to that list could be of help.
What do you get from running 'hwinfo --framebuffer' ? The hex
equivalent of decimal 791 is 0x317 -- did you try that as well?
