The sync bug is a Videl hardware problem, which can be worked around with
"proper" way of settings the Videl registers. Anders' megapatch vcon
patches this bug for 640x480/2 (and derivatives) but it gave me syncbugs
for ST-High instead (I boot my computer in ST-High). As of "small sync
bugs", I have something like this all the time on vcons. There's a tiny, 1
pixel vertical line on the right side of the screen. Its easily visible,
because it is white, while the rest of the screen (except the text ;)) is
black. It seems it has nothing to do with usual GEM console resolution
(800x608/16).

Gtx,
