I would like to be able to set 80x50 lines or 80x60 line mode on any VGA
card; something which programs like DesqView seem capable of.  The required
mode appears different on different VGA cards....

So it's like to know how (probably using BIOS) I can figure which mode to
use for any given VGA card, or some other way of setting the mode.

Thanks
