My solution under Intrepid:

modified /boot/grub/menu.lst
added vga=0x0323 to defoptions

modified /etc/usplash.conf:
xres=1024 was: 1440
yres=768 was: 900

Note: vga=0x0365 did not work even though my default display is 1440x900. During reboot this produced a screen of vga mode options for me to choose from, and an option to scan. I selected "scan" and the result did not offer any modes in the 1440x900 resolution. I ended up selecting the best 1024x768 mode available.

I did not need to mess with modules vga16fb and vesafb in any manner.

I am wondering if during the installation of Intrepid, the system was unable to properly detect my resolution and so excluded the vga line from the menu.lst file? Just a guess...probably wrong though. Based off of what I observed today, I can't help but think that this bug has a hook into the default display resolution and the ATI fglrx driver.

For the moment my TTYs are working.
