Hi

Nix this one, I tried it on a UDL (USB display link device) framebuffer, and it
changes the resolution/vsync that my screen cannot handle, and I'll need to 
figure out why it does that (as UDL (the framebuffer only one) starts off) with
the screen all green...

...It worked for QEMU, but not for real hardware

Sorry about this...
...I'll try to see what I can come up with, and why it does that....
