Well, it didn't like it when I tried to enter it (0301) at LILO VGA
"ask" prompt _without_ the 'x'.... returned something like "invalid
scan number".

However, when I tried to enter it _with_ the 'x'.... it wouldn't fit.
Seems it only accepts 4 characters to indicate the mode, no more.
I could only get to '0x30'.

*shakes head* Arggggh.

Pete.
