Stas, thanks to you I now know what 'scanline' is. Maybe I not understand full patch meaning, but it seems as it only eliminates some glitches. In the meantime, I slightly looked into Freedos mode (modecon) source, and it seems to me as 'mode' know and work with VESA VBE - it obtain list of modes which is videocard capable, and when there is requested mode, then set it. And DOSEMU VBE not offers mode 0x10B (text mode 132x50), thus it somehow tries emulate it - no. of rows is set OK, but it set only 80 columns, not 132. But I could be wrong...
