When changing video timing dynamically via fbset the screen sporadically
is rendered black.

With the attached fix which disables VCO prior to timing register change
the problem disappears.

I had a look at the Xserver register setup code. Here the VCO is
disabled in the same way [1].

This patch is taken from vga-sync-field version 0.0.11 [2][3].
