Theoretically when KMS kicks in the vga/vesa console will hand control over to inteldrmfb, so you probably don't need vga=normal, but it can't hurt anything.
But your fbset output basically shows that it's working as expected. If you want a different resolution on the console (such as 800x600 or 640x480) just specify that with video= instead of 1024x768. Adam |

can you tell me also where i can look for full list of switches for kernel options for append ? |
You'd have to check the documentation that comes with the kernel. There are probably thousands of options for the various kernel subsystems and drivers. The framebuffer documentation, unfortunately, is pretty out-of-date, actually. The only reason I know these options is from hanging on in various related channels on IRC.

See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt, provided a kernel-source package be installed, of course.
Be aware though that as stated in it "This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive". You can "grep -r __setup /usr/src/linux/*" to find more parameters but it will take _some_time_ to complete ;) |
thanks to all.
adam: what are those channels if you dont mind sharing? |
#radeon, #dri-devel
There's an intel specific one that I don't spend much time in, though, called #intel-gfx All three are on freenode. Adam |

The 'vga=normal/ext/ask/n' is used by the kernel until the inteldrmfb is setup. Have a look at 'dmesg | less'. The 'append = "intelfb:video=1024x768"' is used by the kernel to configure the framebuffer. Apart from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt you can also take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/intelfb.txt |
The intelfb.txt document is largely not applicable to this situation since the OP isn't using intelfb. He's using inteldrmfb, a completely separate beast.

It does give detail about the options though.

hey allend both you and adam were right and its pleasure to learn from you :) i hope you upgraded intel driver since i had problems up untill several days ago :) thank you all
