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

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?
