[syslinux] MENU CLEAR with vesamenu

How does MENU CLEAR work for vesamenu?
I see no difference with and without the "MENU CLEAR" directive in config file.
As soon as I choose from menu, the boot graphics logo is always erased
and screen switches to textmode, regardless of MENU CLEAR. I expected
the screen to stay in graphics mode while kernel and initrd is loading
(while the dots are displayed). Is my expectation wrong? Is there a
way how to achieve my goal? (show the dots during kernel is loading,
say, at the last row of screen, while still keeping the boot graphics
displayed)?

Thank you very much

Tomas M
