Description Marcus Schaefer 2005-09-07 09:39:06 UTC 
the detection of the VBIOS is wrong in sax. it uses --bios to call 
hwinfo but that information has changed so it is needed to use --vbe 
to be able to get all information about the VESA BIOS as well 
 
as result of this the vga driver is used in 4 bit color depth which is 
not supported by the new SaX GUI currently
Comment 1 Marcus Schaefer 2005-09-07 09:41:58 UTC 
- fixed VBIOS detection in vbios.pl 
- fixed GUI to support 4 bit as well ( no crash )
