This works as far as the screen width is 80.

Perhaps it's possible to improve the current behavior? My suggestion is:

1. if screen width is < 80, reset video mode to 3 ( or 7 ).
2. if screen width is > 80 and text mode is on, use it.

On my web site there is a package, SETMXX.ZIP, which contains a tool setm37.exe. This tools uses VESA mode 0x102 (800x600x4) to create a 100x37 text mode resolution. Works with a lot of cards, so there's a chance you can use it for testing.
