Yes. In any case, as the effect occasionally happens even before X is
started, it can't be anything to do with the xorg driver. On the other
hand, it doesn't happen with any kernel prior to 2.6.32-5-686, which
also causes the small font effect, so it must be something about that
kernel on my machine.
