TL;DR: That code was always poor, don't expect it to work reliably.

Don't assume that any merged code is general and robust, only
because it might have worked for some developers in some case.

If you need reliable graphics init then please use the VGA BIOS until
you can [sponsor someone who can] analyze and address (potentially
also design) problems in the native graphics init C code.

If you do go on into development, then please do not waste time on
the native graphics init C code, but instead please work on making
use of libgfxinit on the platform you are interested in. It is the
way to go forward.


Thanks
