Sure I did try. The kernel doc seems a little unclear or just outdated here. 
This mode stuff seems to be only for analog screen devices. In a loptop you 
normaly have a digital one. For those you need the vaga= line.

One would need something like

video=vesafb:off,intelfb vga=792

But this syntax does not exist.
