Please don't top post!

I don't think you need VESA for any of these...certainly not the
SC_HISTORY_SIZE. You do need it for SC_PIXEL_MODE to get more modes on
systems that lack that capability (like my T43 laptop).

If you can set it to a mode that makes you happy, those commands should
work, but some systems offer very few modes without VESA. The T43 offers
four...all 80 characters wide from 25 to 60 lines. :-(
