As a follow-up to the previous thread, but not hardware-specific: where 
is the screen_info.orig_video_isVGA variable set and is it user-settable?

Actually, is the test

 	if (FIXED_MODE(dinfo) && ORIG_VIDEO_ISVGA != VIDEO_TYPE_VLFB) {
 		ERR_MSG("Video mode must be programmed at boot time.\n");
 		cleanup(dinfo);
 		return -ENODEV;
 	}

in intelfbdev.c (2.6.13) correct? (ok, this one is hardware-specific, 
maybe).

Thanks
