Since you're replying to me, I should probably point out that I wasn't
particularly intending to add 320x480 mode-X myself :-), I just
thought it seemed like a good idea if we were adding other such modes.

(It seems I included a patch to add such a mode to svgalib [1] with a
very early zgv, but I can't seem to find that now. Maybe I changed my
mind about including it, and forgot to update the change log. Oh
well.)

[1] Or perhaps VGAlib. It was a *long* time ago. :-)
