Oh, really?  Now I'm a little confused... I wonder why the standard
kernels didn't work in the past (around Oct/Nov last year).

At any rate, the intvid_info[] table is a mixed blessing; it makes things
work in one mode, but if e.g. the 256-color mode has a different offset
than the B&W mode, it causes trouble.  I suppose we could wire that in,
too, but I haven't decided how much sense that makes.
