Doesn't seem to work here. The small font I can live with, but if I
enable KMS another problem appears. Initially the console type face is
large. If I start X and go back to the console with ctrl-alt-F1 the type
face is small. If I do this a second time the console is completely
blank.
I've tried different settings (Terminus, VGA) in dpkg-reconfigure but
that seems to have no effect.
