Accessing the palette in mode X is no different from doing it in any of
the standard modes.  The BIOS tends to do wierd things, so don't use it
while you are in mode X.  If you only need to set the palette once, why
not set it while you are in mode 13h with the BIOS, and then call the
routine that sets mode X?  Remember, though, you don't want the
set-mode-X routine to set mode 13h again...you'll only want to modify
the CRTC regs, and reset the clock.
