something strange when archlinux start up

Hi,

I have something strange when archlinux starts up.

At the beginning, the resolution of screen is the same with the resolution setting in menu.list of GRUB. Then after the prompt "bring up lookback interface OK", the screen splashes one time, then the resolution of screen changes to a higher one.

Anybody has encountered this problems?

Thanks

Hmm... Sounds suspiciously like KMS. It's a "feature".

What video card are you using?

Well, if you want to turn it off or get high resolution from early boot, look here: Intel Graphics Wiki.

correction: KMS is required since xf86-video-intel 2.10
