Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] special video mode numbers
On the same line of thought, 

Is it possible to change default mode to one of vesa modes (118 or 11b)
instead of text mode?
If so, (in 3.0.4) setup-xen.c, what does video_mode 3 means? Is it the
correct place to make this change?

I don't see screen_info used beyond dom0_init_screen_info, is this code
deprecated?

Keir,

is there a particular reason you chose to use slightly different special
mode
numbers than Linux, ignoring VIDEO_CURRENT_MODE altogether? I think
it wouldn't be bad to be in sync with Linux here, and I independently
think
that having a way to avoid mode switching altogether is good to have in
case of possible problems on exotic hardware.

Jan
