Puzzling, I'm not sure why the wraparound in this picture appears to show
the text (at the top---the wraparound) being squished to half-height.

640x400x4 set by sys/isolinux, so no problems (the machine booted in this
mode).

Thanks for typing the numbers here, it made the counting easier :).  In this
case the machine is running in 80x25 text-mode (on a 640x400 clock) and
probably not using the framebuffer;  just plain VGA text-generation by the
video-card itself.
