Thanks!

Humm, I already had this idea, but I didn't implement it because as you say 
there could be problems if the framebuffer width isn't within particular 
ranges. So if you specify 0 as virtual width, by default it is set to the 
physical width to avoid problems.

Humm, ok, though I'd like to see a bigger framebuffer set by default. Virtual 
1024x1024 is a bit small even in 640x480 mode... What about changing test.c 
to use say, 2048x2048?
