Well, the video code is doing lots of very strange things when performing video card detection, but if you don't use the menu nor menu item numbers when selecting the mode (by giving BIOS mode ID directly -- see the manual), no autodetection is done. Can you test it this way? If the bug will still manifest itself, it probably is not in the video code.
