Ubuntu 9.10 Preview: Kernel Mode Setting
,----[ Quote ]
| Put simply, kernel mode setting means the Linux kernel, instead of an X11
| video driver, handles the task of configuring the graphics mode of the
| console. The assignment of this work to the kernel shaves away some
| overhead, making certain operations faster. It also helps developers by
| allowing kernel problems to be more easily debugged when X is running, and
| simplifying the video infrastructure upon which Linux relies.
