Can't it just use the current > one somehow ? if you are using the vesafb frame buffer driver DirectFB can only use the current mode since vesafb doesn't support mode switching. I suspect that the problem is that you are running vesafb in 8bit mode which is not supported by DirectFB (unless you enable the optional RGB332 support). You need to change the kernel boot parameters in order to get a useable video mode at boot time. See the kernel documentation (Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt) to learn how to do that.
