The title about says it all; I have MINIX 1.7.2 running on my XT, and
I'd like to use it with the VGA 50-line mode.  I figure that would
involve changing the "console" boot variable to some value, but for the
life of me I can't make it change the video mode at all.  I'm pretty
sure my kernel was compiled to support nonstandard video modes.  I have
an Oak VGA card, if that helps.
