Don't call vgaHWSave() or vgaHWRestore() on PowerPC, this allows

But seems totally wrong for PowerPC systems that use VGA the same way
a PC would.

True. On the other hand all the other drivers do just that.
Are there any PowerPC systems that run a VGA like a PC does? My

BeBox?

Anyway, making assumptions based on processor architecture is bogus.
