Or maybe change the resolution in the tty to the resolution in Gnome. (Framebuffer? I don't know how it's called...) That'll probably fix it, and if it doesn't, we get high-res ttys :P

Some RedHat experiments with putting X directly into the initrd, making less mode setting and therefore hopefully fewer flicker-causing switches http://hoegsberg.blogspot.com/2007/01/plymouth.html
