when trying (unsuccessfully) to get the nvidia driver working
correctly for my card, i wondered if a few registers weren't
slightly off.  i could be wrong and this was a long time ago,
but fwiw:

	vga->crt[0x04] = mode->shs/8 - 1;			/* differs by -1 */
 	vga->crt[0x13] = (vga->virtx/8)*(mode->z/8);
	vga->crt[0x15] = mode->vt - 1;			/* differs by -1 */

the 0x13 register was a particular problem.  with the normal setting,
the cursor just froze up and wouldn't move.
