Nice, but user may want to alter video mode without reboot :) However video card vendor would
ship cards with data tables on their video BIOS to explain register settings for video modes
and likes. Please note that it's possible to use 'int 10h' (real mode) interrupt service to
set up video mode even from Linux with some kind of emulation. Also video bios may contain
code can be used from protected mode directly as well?
