Around 2 years ago one of my machines (that uses VESA graphics) started
requiring me to select a safe video mode on every boot (otherwise it just
hangs on the rocket). Knowing that it was between two hrevs 6 months apart
I looked for changes relating to VESA between the dates and have found the
change [1] that caused it (tested by reverting the change and testing).
The change to vesa accelerant is intended to only set the video mode if it
is different to the current one. But at least on my hardware, it causes
the system to not set the video mode correctly on boot.
