Hi,
This is the final patchset for the VESA mode switching. It's rather straight
forward now that vm86 support is available. :-) Tested on a ATI Mobility
Radeon X700, Qemu and Vmware server.
There's one major change which also affects other drivers: The screen preflet
now always writes the vesa settings file with the current choosen resolution.
This will prevent a useless mode switch while booting regardless of the used
driver. Maybe that's not desired...
BTW, I found that even though I chose "Use fail-safe video mode" during
booting the radeon driver was initialized nontheless and prevented the VESA
BIOS from working. I think that's two errors: first I expected that no other
graphics drivers are loaded during booting and second the radeon driver seems
to mess up the vesa bios simply by loading the driver.
