You cannot use 80x25 VGA text mode whilst using the i915 driver, full stop. Somebody has to choose the mode at some point. On linux we push that to the endpoints - either the system is already configured to run at a good mode by the bios/uefi setup, or the display manager applies the user configuration. In between, there is also the fbcon layer that can autoselect a mode, and if push comes to shove, you can force the mode selection by X during its startup.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
