I'd suggest not to do so - whaetever mode chosen, I don't think there's a
formal guarantee that it'll be available. Further, Linux doesn't do so either.

Mode 3 was VGA color text 80x25 originally, but got overloaded by derived
modes (80x43, 80x50, and all the less standard modes) later, so today it
really at best means 80 colums, color, and a varying number of lines. But
I don't thinkyou want to backport all the necessary support code to 3.0.4...
