The only code I found to do VBE (VESA BIOS Extensions; unless you want to steal
X's special-case code for every card, the only way to do DDC probes on
i386/amd64) is an entire x86 emulator, which later calls out to int 10h; it's
crack. If someone who has more skill with ASM and amd64 wants to hack this up,
great, but I'm not sure I can in the timeframe.
