The leftmost `+' has a higher precedence than the `?' so this returns
(vres * (hres * (1 << color_mode) + (VMODE && CMODE) ? 0x10 : 0x20) + 0x1000

Yes, the original code looks ok and the patches one not quite ...

Ok, my former patch may have been wrong, but unless I am very much
mistaken, there is something fishy here.

The idea is that the framebuffer is offset by 0x1020 normally, except
when the video mode is VMODE_832_624_75 and the depth > 8 in which case
it's offet by 0x1010. It's a weird piece of HW but I think the original
code is correct. Or do I miss something ?

Thanks for this, let's simplify to explain what I think that goes wrong:

printf("%d\n", 1 + 0 ? 2 : 4);

This prints `2': since the `+' operator has a higher precedence than the
trinary `?' operator.

In the original code we had:

return vmode_attrs[video_mode-1].vres *
  	       (vmode_attrs[video_mode-1].hres * (1<<color_mode) +
  		((video_mode == VMODE_832_624_75) &&
		 (color_mode > CMODE_8)) ? 0x10 : 0x20) + 0x1000;

note that `hres * (1<<color_mode)' is added to
((video_mode == VMODE_832_624_75) && (color_mode > CMODE_8))
before the trinary operator `?' occurs.

So maybe instead of the first patch you may want to apply this?
