And while some drivers ( machfb, voodoofb, probably others ) support
switching video modes they don't support VGA text mode. Maybe we should
just add an ioctl() or two to pass a struct videomode or a string like
"1192x900x76" ? The latter would be matched against the list in
sys/dev/videomode/.

have fun
