The VGA 50-line mode is probably not available.  You should check
/usr/include/sys/vidi.h; the supported video modes are listed in
there.

If you want to use 43-line mode on all of your multiscreens, you'll
need to increase the amount of memory reserved for the console.  I
don't know what the resource name is under Xenix; it's SCRNMEM under
Unix.
