What I was rather expecting to happen here is for the technical issues
to be fixed first, *then* we could update the test case.

As things stand, we don't really have a fallback graphics method for
UEFI. ajax and airlied are the ones who need to fix this, and they are
aware of the issue, it's just a question of whether they consider it a
priority.
