This code allows syscons to work in 800x600 16 color mode, and XF86_VGA16
knows about this mode too, so if the chipset in your laptop isn't
otherwise supported in XF86 this may improve things abit.

Modified files:
sys/i386/isa syscons.c syscons.h
Log:
Add support for VESA mode 0x102 (800x600x4) in syscons. You can activate
this using option "-b" to the boot blocks. It is smartest to compile
a font into your kernel (See LINT), but not mandatory, but apart from
the cursor you will see nothing on the screen until you load a font.
This mode allows XF86_VGA16 to run in 800x600 mode on otherwise unsupported
graphics hardware.
A number of buglets in the cursor handling in syscons may become
visible this way.
