Peter, how in general do you want to proceed where we have documented
cases of graphics mode setting failure in grub2? Do you want individual
bug reports for each affected bit of hardware? Downstream, upstream?
What kind of info should be included? Thanks!
One for each card is probably fine, though there's some chance these will
occasionally be due to the system bios and not the vidoe bios on the card.
But whatever; we can coalesce those if needs be.

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the
road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
