Hello,
I propose we put:
options	SC_PIXEL_MODE
options	VESA
into GENERIC so that people with laptops & flatscreens can change 
console resolution to their screen's physical resolution directly from 
the DragonFly CD. We could also add:
options	VGA_WIDTH90
to enable 90 column console modes.
Except for some additional kernel size (~21K) I see no problem with that 
since the CD starts with a text console anyway and syscons returns 
ENODEV if the mode the user wants to set is not available with current 
hardware.
Regards,
Sascha
