A default one should have been installed, but wasn't (it is on the "known problems" list for 2.2.2). The error is obviously non-fatal. > Some videomodes not working with vidcontrol: VGA_80x50 VGA_80x60 both > result in: > > Cannot set videomode: Invalid argument Install console fonts first, and retry. > vidcontrol VGA_320x200 produces garbage on screen (random pixels) Are you running a graphics program? This is obviously not a text mode. Tty is not supported in graphics mode unless you have a graphics program that does so itself. > Also, can't activate screensaver from command line; vidcontrol has no > options to chose the screen saver type (blank, snake, etc.) This is loaded as an lkm at startup, so you have to unload the current screensaver and reload another one with the module load/unload tools. See /etc/rc.i386 for details.
