Subject: Font selection with i915

When Fedora 12 loads i915 during initramfs probing on my system, the
driver automatically installs a tiny 160x64 font.  How can I prevent it
from doing this, or tell it to use a larger 80x25 font instead?

Is this documented anywhere?

In addition, are the error messages in the following dmesg log anything 
to be concerned about?  They appear during every boot:


[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
