How to reduce screen resolution in TTY console?
Hello. When booting Debian Jessie, the GRUB menu appears in normal resolution (1024x768), and then the video mode changes and the resolution goes to the maximum - the text becomes very small.
Intel GMA 3650 video card.
Used kernel module for the video card:
# lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
Kernel driver in use: gma500
Model: "Intel(R)XX Graphics Controller"
