more data on screen

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Hi, John,

My video card evidently works with vga = 15492, so I now have 132 x 60
on the screen. Thanks for the tip. In for a dime, in for a dollar, I
guess. I am surprised we can do this stuff without frame buffers
enabled. My console output is noticeably more sluggish than with vga =
normal, but the added capacity makes it worth it. Each screen now has
four times the data it had before.
