Boot splash doesn't show with intel i865 and CRT

[umccullough]

Ever since the new boot splash was added, my Dell Optiplex GX270 no longer shows a boot splash using a Cornerstone Color 50/115 21" CRT.

The video chip on the GX270 is an integrated Intel 82865G

Tested with r24615 (serial log attached)

If I manually specify a video mode using the boot menu, it shows up just fine.

same revision with TRACE_VIDEO defined

In r24615 it appears to be choosing 1600x1200x8bpp - will test r24608 next.

r24608 with TRACE_VIDEO on

Went back to r24608 (and also made sure to revert video.cpp) - then re-enabled TRACE_VIDEO and re-tested.

Still apparently chooses 1600x1200x8bpp in the old rev.

Thanks! TRACE_VIDEO was very helpful indeed: what happens is the following: - EDID information could not be read for your monitor. - unlike most (all?) other cards I know, the VESA resolution table is ordered differently than usual. This broke the code that choose the right standard mode.

In r24619 I've changed the way this mode is found.

Confirmed fixed - now chooses 1024x768x32bpp in r24660
