I tried your fix and it somehow helped (attached patch). At least, it
doesn't hang the system anymore. But there is still a problem with
changing video modes.

After a mode change, the screen is usually out of sync (monitor turns
off). A change to another mode usually fixes the sync. For instance, in
zgv after ^P (previous picture -- always changes videomode) it also brake
the sync.

Changing to another mode can be done -- switch, back and again. After
this, the sync is OK.

But, this happened only to jpegs, gifs seem to be unaffected.
Maybe problems with only some modes?

Michal
