assume is a good one, the intel fb device cannot change the video mode
on a laptop display. The vga parameter actually gets the kernel to
change the video mode much earlier, so the intelfb driver can keep using
the same one.
I am just using
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x318 video=intelfb
since the mode option under intelfb is useless. I could also drop the
video parameter altogether since I only have the intelfb driver compiled
into the kernel.
Thanks,
