This happens as VGA is not the output connected to your hardware. You'll likely see the correct screen if you plug in a monitor to the VGA port of the netbook. viafb will work if you give it the options (as explained in viafb.txt) viafb_active_dev=DVI viafb_mode=800x480 I don't know how to fix the problem for X as I'm only using the framebuffer driver (with -fbdev if X is needed).
