[SOLVED] Asus eeePC 1005HA fbsplash issue

Hello.
I have an Asus eeePC 1005HA running ArchLinux with no problems.
I'm trying to get fbsplash work on my machine.
I have already builded and installed via AUR, i set up the framebuffer to vga=789 aka 800x600 since my netbook doesn't support 1024x768 and seems to work BUT...
when the boot proccess reach udev it change resolution to 1024x600 and fbsplash's errors freeze my netbook.

How can i block this resolution change ?

I assume the 1005HA uses the Intel graphics like pretty much all Atom netbooks? If so, the resolution change to 1024x600 is Intel kernel modesetting kicking in. Add i915.modeset=0 to your kernel line in grub to disable it. It should look something like this:

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah-blah-blah ro i915.modeset=0
