Wow! A big round of applause to all concerned - this is *excellent*.
 
Mode 13h support seems to be 100% perfect. Mode-X works ok, although I
did have some trouble after I interrupted a program that used hardware
page flipping - it ran ok, but the screen flickered a lot after it got
control back from the debugger. The VESA modes are the only ones that
caused me problems. Linear framebuffer modes didn't work at all (no
problem - people can use VESA 1.x when debugging :-) but even in the
standard VESA modes the display didn't always seem to be restored
correctly. It works ok the first time the debugger switches back to it,
but on subsequent switches (eg. when single-stepping through a function)
I somehow ended up in text mode. Any ideas why?

Also, many thanks for including the standalone rhgdb program. I've never
been a great fan of integrated developement environments like Rhide, but
this debugger is an absolute god-send. Thanks!
