Hmm -- that seems problematic. Driver misconfigurations have left my
system in an unbootable state before; I'd hate to have to jump
through
hoops to downgrade to working drivers -- I'd think it should at
least ask
before auto-configuring everything.
This is why I refuse to enable fb, DRI & [xgk]dm. The nvidia kernel
module isn't loaded until you run startx.
So, no matter how hosed X gets, the machine is functional and you
can log into the console, reading email with Mutt and surf the web
with links2.
This is why I am distressed about kernel modeline settings.
What?
Be a bit more specific.
What do you mean by kernel modeline settings?
Sorry, it's mode setting, not modeline setting.

They have to do something, VT management is a mess.
To wit my problems with vga= in Debian's 2.6.25 kernel (*not* with
