       Notes:         When the mode is changed, the screen is cleared.
                      However, do not use this service as a "clear-screen"
                      service, since this can take a little longer than
                      the normal screen-clearing routines (Service 06h or
                      07h).
 
                      To avoid screen clearing (PCjr, EGA, and PC
                      Convertible only), call with the high bit in AL set.
 
                      The cursor is not displayed in graphics mode.
 
                      Changing the video mode also changes the cursor
                      size.
 
                      For the PCjr, CGA, and EGA, modes 0, 2, and 5 are
                      identical to modes 1, 3 and 4 except color burst is
                      not enabled. ("Color burst" controls the display of
                      color on composite monitors: When color burst is on,
                      color is displayed; when it's off, color is not
                      displayed. RGB displays are not affected by the
                      color burst status.)
 
                      Use INT 10h, Service 0Fh to get the current video
                      mode.
