Subject: [patch] Refine SCREEN_INFO sanity check for vgacon initialization.

Hi,
Checking video mode field only to see whenever SCREEN_INFO is
initialized is not enougth, in some cases it is zero although
a vga card is present. Lets additionally check cols and lines.
Updates f82af20e1a028e16b9bb11da081fa1148d40fa6a, should go
into 2.6.22.
please apply,
Gerd
