	SVGATextMode is a utility for Linux that mucks around with your
SVGA card in order to produce strange and exotic text modes, such as 100x37,
80x40, 160x80, etc..  It is available at more Linux archives, although
I forgot which directory...
	I would like to see this ported to FreeBSD.  I sure wish that I
were a better hardware programmer, then I would do it myself.
