As I already wrote, I made the graphic support only for VESA modes
and VGA 0x12 and 0x13. I think, If a user want to debug some exotic
graphic modes, he should do it in any othere way because I cannot
think about any possiblity which can be happen.

I think that the best for debugging graphic programs is to debug
it in standard modes and when it is ready you can use it with
any special think you want.
