Good news? This is *FANTASTIC* news. Which video-modes is
currently able to preserve? Is the video-memory-preservation done
with a stand-alone function, say, one function for each mode (or
mode-type?) I ask so that maybe people who know nothing about
debuggers (me) but know something about graphics could make Gdb aware
of other video-modes as well (mode-X.)
