Current (2.4.0pre8) hgafb will misdetect MDA only cards and
then crash - last message briefly seen before screen clears is
hgafb: <NULL> with 32K of memory detected.
A comparison to the detection code in XFree86 shows that hgafb
forgets to return failure if the status port doesn't show
any active changes associated with counting vertical syncs.
