Well Stefan,
your arguing sounds somewhat inconsequent, isn't it? You offer people to
configure the vga resoultion via vga=something, why would you? Well, you would
because people face issues every other time so it makes sense to configure the
resolution.
And no, you do not want to remove it, because you think it is meaningful.
Now, KMS comes in, far from being perfect - but you say, well, for KMS we do
not need this, rely on what you get from the EDID - surely knowing that many
EDID's provide erratic settings. Or, people older than you just want larger
sized fonts - nothing easier than setting video=something - given, and this is
the crucial point here, you know about this parameter.
I suspect most starters know about this, it even took me quite a while of
googling and asking here and there to find some nice guy to tell me about. And
after nearly 20 years of linux I wouldn't say I were a beginner, not really.
Trying to adjust the font size on the console otherwise seems really tricky, I
haven't found any way to configure it.
But, as always, just my two cents here.
Nevertheless folks, thanks for looking into this.
