Mm, sorry, I misunderstood the rationale for this slightly before, but I
understand better now.  This is really the fault of the Debian-specific
gfxpayload_keep_default patch; I'm going to revert a small part of that
which was responsible for disabling video module loading and hence
prevented the screen_info structure from being set up properly on entry
to Linux.

I'd appreciate confirmation that 1.99-27 fixes this for real.

Thanks,
