Or to actually say what it does: The graphics card will usually display the
"borders" in color index #0 for palettized modes thus giving the picture
a border of that colour. Note, that some graphics cards do not like this, 
and that a too big border will lead to horizontal stripes on the screen,
as the CRT ray is not blanked while doing the horizontal retrace eventually.
