This prevents intelfb from changing the videomode. It seems that intelfb can't change it no matter what....booting with video=intelfb:1024x768-16@60,mtrr=0 gives me the usual vga console and no framebuffer. The following is printed during boot: [...] Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 855 Chipset. agpgart: Detected 8060K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000 [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G chipsets intelfb: Version 0.9.2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 852GM, aperture size 128MB, stolen memory 8060kB intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).

[...] On the other hand, the vga=0x318 gives a 1024x768 console (and the vc <-> X fight) with the following messages during boot: [...] Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 855 Chipset. agpgart: Detected 8060K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000 [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G chipsets intelfb: Version 0.9.2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 852GM, aperture size 128MB, stolen memory 8060kB intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).
