This is a follow-up:

Today I fired-up once again the laptop I last used to check dragonFly (a test-bed) before attempting to install it on the PowerEdge servers.

Although it runs 5.4.1-RELEASE it has the same configuration I am running in the newer Lenovo regarding this post, except for the fact that the laptop is booting through BIOS (no uEFI at all) while the Lenovo is booting through uEFI.

The laptop has a Radeon video card and loads the radeon[kms] driver as well.

- 5.4.1 on the laptop gets me ttyv0 @ 1920x1200 by default
- 5.9.# on the Lenovo gets me standard VGA only

Obviously something changed between 5.4.1 and 5.9.# because I am now sure not to be configuring anything different.
