Hi!
I have installed AL onto USB flash drive (preparing for home NAS). At some booting point terminal switches to very high resolution mode. How to eliminate all these video-tunings and keep raw terminal mode (without loading unneeded modules, and so on)?

It might be KMS.

Thanks for the tips!
Yes, adding '<driver name>.modeset=0' to kernel options prevents mode switching. On the other hand both video driver as well as drm module are loading. At case when X11 will not be used at all I think there is more radical way to prevent all these video-related steps. I'd want to keep console at state it was before loading video related modules. Something must be disabled

What happens if you remove the drivers for you graphics card?

Uninstall, e.g. 'pacman -Rns xf86-video-nouveau'.

Blacklist the kernel DRM driver.

Removing or bkacklisting a video/drm driver(s) isn't the aim. The aim is to keep raw text terminal regardless current video hardware (which is a matter of change) and installed video drivers. So something in init process must be configured. Who does load video and drm modules? At which point?

udev does. And blacklisting *is* the correct way here. You don't want the driver to load. So you blacklist it.

OK, as far as !drm is an official legal way - done and tried.
Thanks!
