Ugh, I don't like overloading flags this much. The historical usage of flags was due to userconfig only letting one set a single flags property for a given device. Since moving to hints we now support free-form text properties. I would much prefer this be implemented by setting 'hint.sc.0.vesa_mode=XXX' instead. -- John Baldwin
