That's suprising... I tested the patch with vga=ask and picked
1024x768x15, 1024x768x16, 1024x768x24 and 1024x768x32. For all
cases the bits-per-pixel and line length values were correct.
But I don't have a machine with legacy BIOS so I testee using QEMU and
SeaBIOS.

Interesting. So you don't have the simplefb output that you had before ?
