Oh yes, we can define GFX_SAFE_ID to GFX_AUTODETECT if we like
anyway.  This still doesn't sort out your problem with colour
depths though; if I define GFX_SAFE_DEPTH to 15, the setup
program could end up using 15bpp whether it likes it or not.

I suppose one option is to make it check the depth after setting
the mode, and abort if it doesn't like it.
