Yep, or you could also boot without framebuffer support (second
option). I had considered using "vga=scan", but this might be annoying
on some old BIOS. I don't remember if it is possible to set multiple
resolutions with vga= (e.g., vga=792,788,normal), and I never liked
vga=ask. Suggestions on this point are welcome.

Yep, I have to edit live.cfg in iso/isolinux/, which is somehting I
will do for future snapshots.

Thanks for the fedback.
