Well the code for setting the right resolution  is completely
videl-oriented.

Steven Moore's version does. :) And in fact, looking at the original
documentation, it looks like the old vcons did it all the time ("use
vcons1d if you want faster vcons and don't care about colors"). But it
looks like there was no way to use it, somehow. :) Anyway Steve's patch
allows you to set a color resolution in /etc/resolution, and then use it,
but only on an RGB falcon.
