Mind if I ask about > it? Not in the slightest. I'd be interested to know why my system is different, as well. (I've seen other systems that do behave differently - - a live-CD-like environment we use at work which is apparently based on SuSE, most prominently - but pretty much every Debian install I've ever done has had that behavior, as far as I recall.) > I haven't seen that in a long time.

That still happens for me, actually, it just doesn't "resize" the display in the process. > Does 'cat /proc/cmdline' show any vga=0F00 or other setting? Nope: $ cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.14-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_root ro quiet > Is GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 set in /etc/default/grub?

I'm not sure what configuration files it uses, but I've checked the ones I can find from 'man setupcon', and the only lines which look like they might be related to this are commented out. Maybe it's got something to do with the way I install Debian? I don't quite follow the normal installer defaults 100%; I do partitioning manually, and I disable all tasks except for the base system, then install everything I need (including X) separately afterwards. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
