It should work better now.

If no one sees severe problems with -pci, I propose it is the default in 
0.5.6.

Cirrus VGA seems to work with both Win 95 and 98 without any additionnal 
drivers, so it is likely to be the default config.

There are still issues with Bochs VESA VBE (you cannot use it 
simultaneously with Cirrus VGA yet). Moreover, the Cirrus VGA driver is 
not optimized (the video memory writes are extremely slow compared to 
what could be possible and the blitter operations could be at least 
twice as fast).
