Fixed issues

This patch fixes the following issues:

  • The io-graphics initialization sequence no longer breaks some graphics drivers, such as devg-smi7xx. (Ref# 24084)
  • The io-graphics server no longer locks up Amanda PCI, MGT5200 and other boards. (Ref# 25861)
  • io-graphics now supports the following wide-screen video modes:
    • WXGA (1280x800)
    • WXGA+ (1440x900)
    • WSXGA+ (1680x1050)
    • WUXGA (1920x1200)

    These are the standard display sizes for laptops with wide screens. (Ref# 25744)

  • We changed the way that io-graphics starts up, so that it and devc-con no longer get locked in an infinite loop. (Ref# 40882)
