Hi,
this is probably not really important and it is not the cleanest patch 
ever, but just in case you are interested in it this is a patch that 
fixes the well known vesa bug that leaves the screen blank after the 
playback is over.

Since the only known solution seems to be switching console, I added to 
the uninit function the code to make the console switch back and forth 
from a second different console.
Of course this works only if in the system there are at least two active 
consoles, but this does not seem after all such a great constraint, and 
anyway the patch would just do nothing in that unfortunate case.

Like it happened for the previous fbdev patch, I made a diff against the 
latest stable version since I checked that the vo_vesa.c file did not 
change since then.

Hope this helps,
 Roberto De Leo
