Additionally we need to hook the sercon code only into a few subcalls,
and with the exception of 00h (aka set-mode) none of them are useful for
software which wants program vesa modes. So, yes, I think that could
work.
I'll go have a look, starting with old linux xorg+x86emu.
Do you remember which windows versions have problems too?
cheers,
Gerd
