Boot/console question.

I've noticed on the occasions when I've got graphics card issues that it's
(usually) not just X where the problem occurs; instead, it (seems to be)
when the fonts re-initialize during boot. (Of course, since the screen
goes blank immediately thereafter, it's a bit hard to pin down. Trying to
boot to single-user mode does nothing to help.)
I've always managed to work past this, but I'm damn curious to know if it
can be avoided entirely, e.g., if one of the "vga=ask" options might help
out, or somesuch.
Thanks,
-Ken
