VGA
640x480 resolution
16 colours - 4 bits/pixel
SVGA
800x600 resolution OR BETTER
256 colours or more - 8/16/24 colour bits/pixel, some carss allow
24 bpp aligned on 32-bit boundaries for performance
[To the extent that this term really means anything standard, it
may refer to the VESA interface definitions for how software can
select video resolution/colour depth modes.]
XGA
1024x768 resolution
8514/A adaptor register mappings
these are typically followed by ATI and S3 chipsets, but conflict
with the standard COM4 I/O address range
