What is done in more embedded PC's to avoid this?  In a normal PC, you
would always have a video card.  In an embedded PC, this must be handled.  
I assume the BIOS in the embedded PC is a bit more lenient in this regard
and continues.  Still there has to be a way for this to be represented in
the CMOS which is at worst an extension to the standard settings.
