This patch solves a 2.6.20.11 (and 2.6.21) regression added by the patch titled "x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2"

The regression caused the screen resolution to be incorrectly adjusted by 6 pixels. This patch makes it go back to normal again.

Please apply this patch or discuss further :)

Well drat. I didn't merge the patch because it conflicts with
git-newsetup, and Peter believes that git-newsetup already contains an
equivalent fix. Testing 2.6.22-rc6-mm1 would confirm that. Please.

2.6.22-rc6-mm1 has the same problem (it is not fixed there).
