By default, the system boots in 80x25 text mode. I suppose this is because only
the CD-ROM bootloader defaults to passing vga=0x31X behind my back.
1. With KMS, the kernel switches to graphics mode once udev gets to load the
kernel module. The mode looks like 1280x1024, but text is confined to an
80x25/80x30 area in the upper left. The installer uses the "intel" driver, as
evidenced by attachment to comment #4. This fails to produce a picture.
2. With i915.modeset=0 or nomodeset, boot proceeds in 80x25 mode until yast2,
where the Factory installer/Xorg chooses VESA (with an appropriate resolution;
was either 1024x768 or 1280), as seen in attachment to comment #2. This works.
3. Booting with vga=0x317 nomodeset: kernel switches to graphics mode on early
boot. /var/log/Xorg.0.log indicates Xorg is using FBDEV(0). Looks like
1024x768. This works too.
4. Booting with vga=0x317: kernel switches to graphics mode on early boot
(vesafb) 1024x768. Once udev loads, everything goes exactly like (1). Fails.
