Jamie- Yes, your proposal is sound.
Basically, all I think we need to do is "downgrade" the versions of seabios and/or vgabios that we have in Ubuntu to precisely match those that upstream QEMU generated to produce their version. We could do that by using an epoch-hack, or by cherry picking off each of the commits in our slightly newer version of these packages. Honestly, I wish someone who's motivated to help fix -vga std would step up and identify the one (or more) commits to vgabios or seabios that causes this regression, and then we'd just revert that one commit against the upstream code. Unfortunately, that person is probably not me, as I only ever use the default -vga driver which is cirrus, or I use something like Eucalyptus or virsh and run my VMs headless. In this sense, this bug is very low priority as compared to the dozens of others that I need to solve before Lucid releases.
