Yesterday I tried using vga=ask as a bootup option (from loadlin) and chose a different video mode (80x28 instead of 80x25). It looked fine when I was booting, but after I switched from a x (auto started with XDM) to a VT, I was back in standard text mode. Also, I couldn't see the bottom three lines of text, so the VT thought that there were 28 lines on my console. Is there a configuration option that I missed, or is this a problem with my X server?
