Try setting the hres and vres fields (screen pixel width/height) to to
appropriate values. For example, while 80x25 and 80x50 both work with
720x400, 80x34 works with 720x480! This should solve your problem.
Always calculate hres and vres from row/col and the font size (9x16,
9x14 and 9x8); hres is always 720 on VGA, vres has to be set by you.
