Mmm,
it would be nice on amiga hardware to have some modes into the default
XF86Config, in particular :
there is a pal/ntsc output for those who don't have a multisync monitor,
or wihch to output to a TV.
I am not sure this is supported by the standard vesa modes, but then, maybe
these days every amiga user has a multisync monitor and/or a graphiuc card.
There may be problems with the VGA mode also, but i don't think so.
