You are quite right.  Those options are in the BL3 Xvesa.
I was replying to your message from BL2 (which has an older
version of Xvesa).  I didn't realize until now that the BL3
version has extra parameters.

I'm really pleased that the -query parameter seems to be working
(just stick an address after it and you should be OK).  A couple
of years ago I tried the earlier version of Xvesa with xdm and I 
could not get the -query parameter to work.  I must try it again 
with the BL3 Xvesa.

Thanks for the heads-up.
