vt(4) chops off the leftmost three columns

Hi Adrian,

I was looking at the source for the vt driver. Wondering how much work it is to add VESA support to the VGA backend? As you say ATM it's hardcoded to use 640x480. Pardon my ignorance, but can we reuse any VESA code from syscons?

Also, how dependent is splash/screensaver support on the VESA implementation?

Thanks,
Anindya
