Comment:
This patch is far from perfect, I just uploaded so it won't get lost. I need to clean \
it up a bit and fix some issues and test it a lot.



The S3 driver is not good enough yet (No official specs yet...) and the clock \
programming code is not 100% save yet. So please be careful when using this patch.

Comment:
This new patch makes it possible for the user to configure the monitor.  The \
interfaces are updated, bugs are fixed and the code is cleaned up.



What needs to be done:



- Test what happens when no fonts are installed. (is this acceptable?)

- Improve handling fonts with widths of 8 and 9. Suggestions are welcome.

- Implement some more functions like DPMS handling and setting the sync type. (Can I \
test this somehow?).

- I need to program the clock more carefully. I do this in the vsync now, perhaps the \
output needs to be disabled aswell.

- More testing is required. (Volunteers?)
