Which is a bad thing, IMHO... The grf_XX drivers should do all necessary
multiplications/divisions to normalize the units to pixels/lines (so
that an HW independent videomode editor might be written). As an
intermediate measure, I put a multiplication/division by two into the
grf_ul driver (whose hardware uses a factor of 16).

Opinions?

I might be persuaded to post a jumbo patch for all existing drivers, if
it is though a good idea.
