         nMode : The VESA video mode to make active from the table:

                        640 x  400 x 256 colors Graph  ->  256
                        640 x  480 x 256 colors Graph  ->  257

    Description:

         It makes active video mode via VESA driver. The advantage of using
         this driver is that you can forget about programming different SVGA
         cards as the VESA driver will make them all behave in the same way.

         It already exists in most BBS the driver < Universal VESA > that
         can be installed over a great number of chip sets. Nevertheless,
         It is recommended to use the specific VESA drivers for each card
         as these ones are more optimized.

    Return:

         The last video mode.

    Example:

         ? VESAMode( 257 )  // activo mi SVGA a 640x480x256 colores
