I'm preparing a TSR which may have to change some video states.
Anyone have some pointers to PD/shareware code and/or good
documentation for detecting the current video hardware and video mode
and for restoring the video mode correctly.  There's so many extended
and non-standardized graphics modes out there that the whole prospect
of perfectly handling the video detect & restore seems daunting --
I'd hate to spend a lot of time re-inventing wheels.
