I like the idea behind this patch, but I would make force_update an
unsigned integer instead of a boolean, incrementing it every time we get a
framebuffer_update_request and decrementing it every time we send a
reply.

Secondly we could even move vga_hw_update after:

if (vs->output.offset && !vs->audio_cap && !vs->force_update)
