Where is my Vbetool?

[Jean François Martinez]

Is there in F18 a successor to Vbetool?  Its usefulness went far beyond setting the video at boot time.

In sevaerl occassions I hacve had to kill X but this  leaves the video card in
a bad state and I can no longer have a text display until I reboot.

In F17 vbetool could be used for resetting the video card to a sane state.  Now I am forced to reboot.

Unless there is a better successor vbetool should be reintroduced in Fedora.
