Replying to [comment:2 kvark]:
> Thank you anevilyak. It would be very useful if I could really force the
resolution from the boot menu, regardless of the driver used.
The reason it doesn't work that way is because it can't really. In the
case of VESA the BIOS gives you a list of resolutions to choose based on
an index value you pass in, and takes care of all the rest from there
since it's all standardized. When using the actual driver, you no longer
have the benefit of that, and consequently the driver has to actually
compute the modelines, which entails computing constraints based on the
monitor, etc., and consequently a lot more information potentially has to
be supplied.
