Is there a way to have a real text console? I know that I can have 2 X sessions on tty10 and tty11 with different resolutions, and colour depths. Is there a way to set tty1..tty9 to 640x480 *IN TEXT MODE*, so that lat1-?? fonts would look normal, without killing the ability to have X run at 1920x1200?
Note that the suggestion the others gave about disabling KMS is probably not what you need. Disabling KMS means that it will also be disabled for X11, not only for the framebuffer. As you can imagine this is a bad thing.
