Description:
It activates a 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.
The driver exists on most BBS < 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 ) // activate mi SVGA a 640x480x256 colors
