This looks like a breakage warning to me.  Better decide once and for all
what this keycode is supposed to do, and document it.  Because switching
video mode is not "switch video output mode", and can easily be confused
with "switch screen resolution", "switch video mode between expanded and
normal" or whatever.


I will add a comment to input.h to the effect that KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE
is to switch between available outputs (LCD/Monitor/TV-Out/Whatnot).
Right now couple of RCs are using it for different purposes (cycling
through inputs I think) so we should do somethig about these.
