It's drifting a little bit from the original issue, but the whole *i thing
is not very nice. The function is used in only one place, and the call
looks like this:
temp = XGI_AjustCRT2Rate(ModeIdIndex, RefreshRateTableIndex,
&i, pVBInfo);
immediately followed by:
return RefreshRateTableIndex + i;
temp is never used. Could the function be made to return a negative error
code on failure and the updated value of i on success? The (*i) could
become just i, which would even be a little shorter.
