Then I'm a little lost :-) Do you want the user to be able to tweak the
GFX_SAFE mode ?

Yes, the problem.

That would be a nice solution: the fb driver could then set the
desktop_color_depth, get_desktop_resolution and get_gfx_safe_mode methods of
the system driver.

We already have a fetch_mode_list method for each graphic driver and it is
not reliable (see for example SVGAlib).
