I copied the BL3 Xvesa (which I think is a static one) to BL2
a while ago to solve some problem and it is working fine there.
But on our two Toshiba Satellite laptops I am using the SVGA server with a 
configuration file which works on all four of our laptops at 800x600, 
which I think I posted at my site.  I vaguely recall Xvesa not working on 
at least one of them.

Does -query work with other X servers?

Our Compaq 486 definitely did not work with Xvesa (actually it worked only 
in 4 colors).  We also just worked on a friend's newer laptop which would 
only display 4-color VGA until we downloaded 4MB WinXP driver for it, and 
has no VESA or normal VGA modes built-in.
