vbemode option in l4dope?

We do not plan to implement this feature for DOpE but
technically, there is no argument against it. So please
feel encouraged to try porting this feature to DOpE ;-)

I wonder what goes wrong with setting the VBE mode with GRUB?
Are you sure, you use the proper GRUB version? The standard
version of GRUB does not support vbeset. You can find Adam's
patches for GRUB versions with vbeset support here:
