Yes, please file a bug complete with details of your laptop.

Not at the moment, unless you want to loose hibernation!

One solution maybe to use the 640x400 mode that the machines boot in and
which is the 'standard' vga mode, rather than 640x480 which is what vga16 is
switching it into.

Also need to check whether this:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140848

got applied which fixes a related timing issue in vga16fb and probably
explains the video corruption if the display is stretched.
