Note: These variables are READ-ONLY!

The first three variables are also present under TOS, and can be 
obtained there from the operating system header. The vdi_device 
component is superfluous as of MagiC 2.0 as one gets the device number 
in a MultiTOS-compatible way with appl_getinfo (opcode 2). The routine 
for changing the resolution (chgres) expects in register d2 an 
optional Falcon-mode (as int16_t).
