[syslinux] Syslinux set vesa mode

[Matthijs ter Woord]

In our OS/kernel , we want to be able to use some more interesting
resolutions (read: higher than 800x480/4bits), without havingn to develop
drivers for each graphics card.

The only solution there is, is to return to 16bit mode so we can use the
bios, but we'd like to keep out of that as much as possible..

So i think it's a No to your question. (ie, we want to set vesa modes)
