The problems with this patch include:
1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching between X servers
   (i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires the cooperation of both
   X servers. I was assuming that KMS eliminated this.
2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which uses the
   new mode).

So yes, I think it would be wise to revert it. I'll resubmit the patch (in
a changed form or otherwise) when I've resolved these issues.

I apologize again for being late in telling you this stuff.
