Seems to work partialy. The i810 driver can init the hardware but I get
weird artefacts. It seems that some of the memory which is used for the
cursor is overwriten by the real video output or so. Therefor I think
that one of the segment registers which the bios uses is overwriten
somewhere in this gpf handling.

Hmm, the trap bounce code clears ds and es.
