> aux/realemu
> aux/vga -m vesa -p

this should give you a list of supported modes by the
vesa driver, which is of interest here.

if you get a black screen after doing:

> aux/vga -m vesa -l <some mode output from above, like 800x600x16>

then you can try to switch back to text mode to read the error
message like:

aux/vga -m vesa -l text

or try to dump all the output of the above commands to a file and
read it after reboot:

@{ aux/realemu; aux/vga -m vesa l ....} >/tmp/vga.log >[2=1]
