Hi!

Many people (including me) suffered from panic while their console was in
graphic mode (e.g. X Window). I don't know if this would be proper place
to do this, but in case of panic (where everything is lost anyway) just
add there the code to forcefully reset the video card to set it in
known (and useful) mode...
