Video resolutions on FreeDOS

Recently, two people asked me pretty much the same question: Can FreeDOS support video modes above 800x600.

I think I should point out that "DOS" doesn't really "do" video modes. That's going through the hardware. DOS isn't like other operating systems that have a Hardware Abstraction Layer. FreeDOS really just does the disks. DOS programs typically access the hardware on their own. So really the question should be "How can I write programs that do video above 800x600?"

Let's start a new program that shows the color palette.
