Pre-KMS it used to be that common vga= modes were useless, so I took to using 0x121 to escape from 80x25 screens. Using 0x8121 required specifying an appropriate font via config file. Even after KMS began, vga=0x8121 continued to work, and still does at least through kernel 3.4.47.
This is still pre-kms, there's no kms driver for i810 chipsets. So whatever bug there is might be just bad luck or the userspace X driver not restoring stuff correctly. But I'm pretty sure it's not a kernel bug, at least no in the i810 driver.
I was hoping for a (what appears to be a "not our bug") response that was more helpful WRT whose bug it likely is. To me it's clearly a bug report that either can be found or needs to be made at bugs.freedesktop.org, but in what component? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=xorg has a long list, among which there is only one that includes the string intel, Driver/intel, which is what this list seems to be about. Does it look like Server/General, Server/DDX/Xorg, or something else? As it manifest in more than one distro, it surely isn't likely to be downstream.
