Hi!

I'm thinking about how to clean up video resume/how to get it to work
for non-VESA video modes (jikos' case).

I suspect in the medium run, the video mode setting stuff that's moving
into the kernel is the real answer to this problem... maybe it's more
efficient to move that in in a hurry ;)

Violently agreed... but we still want fallback for vesafb ;-).

It should also be pointed out that the first mode setting might very well be different from an already-in-operation modeset, if the procedure that we have access to doesn't initialize everything necessary.
