[Bug 513273] Re: kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic

Using the vgabios from Dustin's PPA, bochs from Ubuntu (I'm running a
10.4 beta, so that's 2.4.2-1ubuntu1), and the guest OS is a Debian 3.0
image from Bochs' Sourceforge page. I can run X11 at 1024x768, 24-bit
color. Can't get any higher, but that's as likely a guest-OS limitation
as anything (anyone trying to run GUI systems in Bochs is a severe
masochist). Mode switching, grayscale modes, text->graphics mode all
worked smoothly.

Also, kvm-qemu (from the command-line) is back to working (guest OS here
is Win7). I can get up to 1600x1200 there, switched between all modes
from 800x600 to 1600x1200 with no problems.

If there are any specific tests that need to be run I'd be glad to give
'em a whack.
