Description
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 hrev24615 (serial log attached)
If I manually specify a video mode using the boot menu, it shows up just fine.

Went back to hrev24608 (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 hrev24619 I've changed the way this mode is found.
