vga= only works when KMS not active. When booting verbose (e.g. splash=verbose, as opposed to silent, in which case I don't know what happens, since I never boot with silent on cmdline) with vga= on cmdline but not video=, vga= will be active only briefly, until KMS kicks in, after which KMS will choose a mode based upon EDID. If you want ttys to do what vga= did pre-KMS, you need e.g. video=1152x864@60, or whatever your own preferred mode is. Since 11.3 all my kernel lines include both vga= and video=, except on a few machines with video chips lacking KMS support.
Ah, yes, you're right. You need nomodeset too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
