Comment (by thomas):

 There is a little more to it than this.
 I have a K8M800 board which works fine with VBEmodes in 32-bit,
 but fails to find any useable modes in 64-bit.

 I've traced this down to a VBE modeinfo function, that, when calling BIOS
 to
 obtain the mode info, returns a failure (0x14f instead of 0x04f) and bogus
 mode information. Same with the vesa driver.

 Obviously there seems to be something wrong with the Xorg in10 code in
 64-bit mode,
 and as long as it doesn't work reliably, we shouldn't enable 64-bit VBE in
 the openChrome driver.
