but sometimes you can:

i would like to ask if it would be worthwile to make
aux/vga able patch the bios using /lib/vgadb. this
can be sometimes usefull to add additional modes that
would otherwise be unaccessible. in this particular
case a internal table in the vesa bios had a wrong
entry for an offered mode.
