I just updated the kernel on my 42.1 install from 4.1.11 to 4.1.12 (via zypper up), The new kernel has decided to use a low resolution everywhere. The character login is big text. When booting the green triangle with the three dots is also big. If I boot with the 4.1.11 kernel all is ok. If I look in YaST at the bootloader options, they look as I recall they did before the update.
Any pointers as to where this setting that seems to me to be in initrd might have been changed?
It is a Sony VAIO with an nvidia GT425M. I have been running the nouveau driver because I have not sorted out the nvidia driver on 42.1 yet. The proprietary driver is the one I usually run on this computer.
I do not think the nouveau driver was loaded on the 4.1.12 system. It is loaded on the 4.1.11 one.
I see that on the functioning 4.1.11, the drm_kms_helper driver is loaded and used by the nouveau driver. I do not see any of this on 4.1.12.
