I'm confused. So before we go to the _exact_ steps of how to set a font in kernel which would take effect after "nouveau" is up, I want to establish a common ground. With "nouveau", my boot-up goes through these basic steps: 1. The original/"regular" console sequence (80x25) 2. Nouveau is loaded by UDEV 3. At this point, the console goes blank for a sec or so. The preceding messages are wiped out. 4. The remainder of the boot-up sequence proceeds and stays in 240x67 all the way to the prompt (and beyond). 5. I can never change the 240x67 resolution of the console text mode. QUESTION Does anybody have/see a different behavior? NOTE I can imagine people going directly to X (graphics mode). In that case, to stay with me on step 4 above, just come "down" in console text mode for a moment or so (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or whatever) and check the ensuing text resolution. BTW, I'm interesting in the answer to my question above more than in comments to this note :) BTW, the _exact_ steps of how to set a font in kernel which would take effect after "nouveau" is up, will be highly appreciated.
