When I boot up and watch the boot splash I can see the screens change and the text goes smaller. I'd rather have a consistant look. Is this to do with the Intel driver loading early and if so how I can change this so it loads once the boot splash is over?

Fonts getting smaller - it's KMS and you need it if you want to run X w/ Intel drivers.
Have you tried late start?

Is 'late start' besically KMS?
I've looked up KMS and apparently there is not much documentation on it. So far I have tried:
video=DVI-I-1:640x480@60
The output is the same.
I'm not sure if DVI is the correct connector but the Arch Wiki KMS artical said to check the kernel log, which I did, but I don't know where to find it.

Look instead into /sys/class/drm. You'll see a bunch of directories there the likes of card0-DVI-1 and such. It's the part after card0- we're interested in, in my example that would be DVI-1. Or you don't specify an output at all, in this case the resolution should apply to all outputs.

Thanks. That worked! LVDS-1 was my device. I also had a VGA but I think that was for the output connector.
I added the following into my kernal line in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
video=LVDS-1:680x400* edit *
I found the right resolution by going into the command line at grub, and then counting the vertical lines. Then i played around until the vertical resolution was correct and then adjusted the horizontal resolution.
