Gianmarco, Sadly, you have a newer video chip/video BIOS which omits some of the older modes. Specifically, you are missing: mode# flags type size font window linear buffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- 258 (0x102) 0x0000000b G 800x600x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 1984k : 260 (0x104) 0x0000000b G 1024x768x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 1984k The VESA_800x600 logic only works with these older modes, I believe called "planar". You can recognize these modes by the (space) 4 instead of (space) 1 under size. In fact, to keep the logic even simpler they only supported mode 258 - because it does not span more than one 64k page of video memory.
