How do I load the VESA driver?  A basic google indicates this is
somewhat experimental.  Is this true?

I remember the command I used in the past to manually change to smaller
fonts:

$ vidcontrol 80x50

In the absence of anything better (VESA?), how can I automate this upon
boot time?  I remember using "allscreens_flags=80x50" but it didn't work.
