Besides it is ok that way, just a question: When and how did you this change
this??? I just would like to know, what happened.
I guess KMS (kernel mode setting) got somehow enabled on your system.
But without knowing what packages got upgraded I cannot say more.


I guess it is xserver-xorg-video-intel:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
options i915 modeset=1

I have this problem on my desktop machine, and it's annoying for me since it also puts the text too far to the left, so the first few characters of each line are not visible. On my eeepc the only thing that happens along those lines is that the font changes, but the mode of the screen does not seem to change.

At any rate, changing that file to  ...=0  does nothing.
