Subject: Font selection with i915
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 12:00:58 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1001171154220.21718-100000@netrider.rowland.org> (raw)

When Fedora 12 loads i915 during initramfs probing on my system, the
driver automatically installs a tiny 160x64 font.  How can I prevent it
from doing this, or tell it to use a larger 80x25 font instead?

Is this documented anywhere?

In addition, are the error messages in the following dmesg log anything 
to be concerned about?  They appear during every boot:


[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

Thanks,
