When I boot with my monitor connected (through a KVM), I end up with

(48 rows by 128 columns, or 25 by 80 once).
Have you got that the right way round? My experience is that with a KVM
the monitor's EDID may not get passed to the computer.
I think so.
Note that _both_ of my cases are with a KVM: the first is when the
KVM is switched to (connecting the monitor, etc., to) the computer
I'm talking about, and one is when the KVM is switched away from the
computer I'm talking about (switched to an otherwise unrelated
computer).
(I'm not talking about the case of having the monitor connected
directly to the computer.)
Of course, I'd like to force it to use the higher resolution regardless
of which computer my KVM is switched to when this computer boots.
Something like
video=DVI-1:1280x1024
as a kernel parameter (when KMS is used) works for me.
What tools (commands) are there in console-data or console-tools or
whatever for getting (and changing) the console video settings?
Thanks,
Daniel
