Is there any way to redirect the output over the net? Because
I'm not going to type all the modes verbatim unless it's really necessary.

To sum up, it says: "VBE version 3.0" and then a table of modes, first
is 0x0101, last is 0x0233, about three screens worth of it. Attribute
is either 0x009f or 0x009b (is that the text/graphic difference?),
resolution from 640x480 to 1920x1200 in various aspect ratios (native
display resolution is 1280x800), bpp 8/16/32, layout 4/6, rpos
0/11/16, gpos 0/5/8, bpos always 0.

Nothing else. Any particular additional details that are needed?
