If it wasn't huge before then you were either running nouveau or vesa
framebuffer on the console and Nvidia in the desktop. This warning is
likely due to the fact that running a framebuffer and Nvidia used to
crash linux. It can probably? be ignored now.

p.s. video=1600x1200 at 85 is usually used for nouveau enabled via
mkinitcpio

and vga=ask will scan and give a menu of possible vesa modes.
