My Gateway solo-5100 does the same thing. But in my case I chose this mode by a bios configuration parameter. The bios has a setting that lets you "expand" text mode. I turn it on and I have a full screen of 80x25 character. I didn't like the character rendering in expanded mode, so I turned it off. Now I have a little screen of well defined characters. X works just fine with the full 1024x768 res.
