Sorry, it's mode setting, not modeline setting.

They have to do something, VT management is a mess.
To wit my problems with vga= in Debian's 2.6.25 kernel (*not* with
kernel.org's 2.6.25.9!)

Hmmm. I'd never be affected by that, since I stick with a pure text
24x80 console, and use startx to load the nvidia binary driver.
You'd never notice it. Linux has a "glaring"(?) fault that you can have
any number of devices anywhere but only 1 keyboard with a VT.
In the best of worlds, the kernel ought to figure out the
keyboard/console connections and give each a vt.
But we'll see that long after I am gone, if ever.
