hi,

I found out what crashed kvm when I increased VGA_RAM_SIZE in pc.h. The crash was caused by a really _dirty_ hack in a kvm specific part of vga.c (it took me at least an hour to find this amazing piece of code... at least the "HACK ALERT" was a good hint ;-) ).

I've attached the patch. It works for me (tested with windows xp as guest os @ 1680x1050). As always, please test the patch. I'd highly appreciate it if somebody could test it with linux as guest os.

@Arne: Could you please test the patch with your setup? I hope it works this time...

cheers,
Andi
