I assume this is unnecessary once installed and the Radeon fix [1] implemented? I also thought I might share in light of this magic that I have in my possession the grimoire that explains it all [2]. In the section regarding video parameters [3], we find the general format is: video=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@refresh] I can't wait to go home and grab the new iso (20120929) as it looks from the manifest like kernel 3.5.0-16.25 is included which is greater than the -16.24 that implemented the nVidia fix [4] (I checked with lspci this morning and it's an nVidia alright). It looks like we're making great progress.
