hum, maybe things looks good on Bochs but they are far from being right
on my video card. What mode are you trying to get? Is it 320*200*256
mode 13h? I runned tweak (simtelnet/msdos/vga) on my mode 13h and I get
 
3C2r00=63

3D4r0=5f 1=4f 2=50 3=82 4=54 5=80 6=bf 7=1f 8=0 9=41 10=9c
        11=8e 12=8f 13=28 14=40 15=96 16=b9 17=a3

3C4 1=01 3=00 4=0e

3CE 5=40 6=05

3C0 10=41 11=00 12=0f 13=00 14=00

just in case it can help you figure out why it looks wrong here.
