Description Michael McLagan 2002-02-20 20:55:19 UTC 
Description of Problem:

When lilo.conf is modified to include 'vga=ext' and the system is rebooted,

it reverts to 80x25 and does not restore the 80x50 mode set in the config
file.

This is intentional; you can change the system font to something that works
better for a custom video mode by editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
