Hi.  The problem with this is that the standard (IBM) VGA doesn't support this
mode.  Various SVGA cards define various BIOS mode numbers above 13h to their
own extended modes, but unfortunately, the mode number for 640x400x256 (or any
other mode) probably won't be the same for other SVGA chipsets.
