vga: relax restriction on display width

[PATCH] vga: relax restriction on display width

Posted by Simon Rowe 1 month, 2 weeks ago

When validating the parameters of VBE ioport writes the X co-ordinate
is silently rounded down to a multiple of 8. For valid resolutions
(such as 1366x768) which are not divisible by 8 this causes
miscalculations because the display surface has shorter lines than
expected. For example, a VNC client receives updates with a
"staircase" effect.

Reduce the rounding to a multiple of two.
