This is fine.  All the kernel cares about is plain text mode.

Most laptops do this, actually, since a standard VGA console is 640x400
and no laptops are that resolution anymore :).  There's probably a
hotkey to toggle "scale/noscale".  On Sony and Dell laptops, it's
<Fn>+F.  The correct fix for X is to specify your laptop's native
resolution in your XF86Config file.
