Hi guys!

I've recently had my Matrox VGA board die on me (don't know why, it just
died), and since then I've been doomed to use the on-board i815 chip to get
the phosphors in my monitor to light up.

This works fine with 'small consoles', and even with VESA_800x600, but when I
type 'vidcontrol VESA_132x60` or any other VESA mode, for that matter, the
screen just goes blank.  When I then type  'vidcontrol -g 100x37
VESA_800x600', or 'vidcontrol 80x25' my screen comes back.

First I thought perhaps the prompt was hidden way off the visible area of my
monitor, but fiddling with the knobs doesn't bring an answer.

Is this a known problem with this chipset, or am I doing something silly?

I'm running -CURRENT from a few days ago.

Thanks! 

 - Philip
