First and foremost, what's your graphic card? Perhaps KMS would be a better option.

Nope, KMS works with almost all open source video drivers, including nouveau.
If you're using the proprietary nvidia driver then KMS is not supported afaik.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

GTX460 doesn't have all resolutions in it's vbios? Ouch! Well, take the highest there is then, 1280x800.

As Lone_Wolf says, nouveau has KMS. But with two gtx460s, I doubt you're interested in nouveau smile. Then again, with two gtx460s, why are you interested in the console?

well when my system is booting, i like to see what is going on, so a graphical boot is less then ideal.  And about the 1280x800 resolution, what do I put after "vga="
