Hi everyone,

I can go with the idea of releasing OpenChrome Version 0.3.4, but I will say
that I will need to reverse last several commits I have made.
This is what it will mean.

- The large known device table will stay (only for Version 0.3.4)
- VBE mode setting will stay (only for Version 0.3.4)
- "Legacy" mode setting will stay (only for Version 0.3.4)
- Benno's patch (Bug 94660) will get incorporated
- Drop support for VT1632A external TMDS transmitter for now 
  (it does not work)

If this sounds okay, I can release OpenChrome Version 0.3.4 within two weeks.
Of course, this assumes that I do not run into Git related tool usage issue.
    After that, I will return to "regularly scheduled program already in
progress," and remove the following items from the master branch source code.

- The large known device table
- VBE mode setting option
- "Legacy" mode setting option

That version will be called OpenChrome Version 0.4.0, and all future
development work will revolve around this version.
I do not plan to make any more fixes to Version 0.3.4 branch code since it is
broken in many ways.
I hope to get VT1632A support back for something like Version 0.4.1 or 0.4.2.
I will also like to support Silicon Image SiI 164 for that future version.
    Regarding VT1632A support, all I will do for now is OpenChrome will not
initialize it.
The code will stay, but via_dvi_init will not be called, making it effectively
inactive.
Let me know how all of you think.
