Support for this can be added to the vesa driver, as this option is
supported by vesa 1.2 or newer.
I don't know on which cards it works, though.
This option is not supported on any driver that I wrote, so your program
won't work on most cards.

The vesa bios does not support this mode, so the only way to use this
mode is to use a native savage driver.

I think vgatest gives you that info.
