   It works fine here on my Slackware 14.2 system. If it does matter in any   
   way, I use LILO to boot a huge kernel with the good old legacy MBR way   
   and with only the following option in lilo.conf:   
      
   append=" vt.default_utf8=0"   
      
   Possible things that could make your system behave differently than mine:   
      
   1) The graphics driver, I use the VESA driver for my intel chipset, from   
   Xorg.0.log:   
      
   [    75.491] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: Intel(R) SKL/KBL Mobile/Desktop   
   Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS   
   ...   
   [    75.540] (II) VESA(0): Modeline "1920x1200"x0.0  154.00  1920...   
   [    75.540] (II) VESA(0): Modeline "800x600"x0.0   40.00  800 ...   
   [    75.540] (II) VESA(0): Modeline "640x480"x0.0   25.18  640 ...   
      
   2) The kernel options, maybe things like kms matter?   
      
   3) The boot method, maybe UEFI messes with your resolution?
