The kernel should use the graphics resolution set by UEFI or the
bootloader's "gop" command. If you use the "text" command or if
UEFI already starts in "text" mode, it might bei necessary to use
"gop" afterwards to initialize a graphics mode. The kernel doesn't
know about UEFI text mode.

The drm driver may "detect" the monitor and change the display
mode. You would need to disable it with the userconf command
"disable i915drmkms*" including the asterisk. In your boot.cfg
you write this as

userconf=disable i915drmkms*
