Hmmm. This is the part that I need to master too. All I can say is that the Debian / FreeBSD & Gnome distros I use start up in a grotty little window of all black screen, until X starts.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh so gnome affects the console resolution before X starts.

Interesting.

mental note to file a gnome bug about that.

No. A kernel compilation flag is implicated. Or maybe GRUB - that's what first shows up window-framed-like - perhaps it's Lilo that works framebuffer differently. And only on my laptop's video subsystem, that I've seen.

YMMV.

Have you been on the plonk too?
