This "bug" is called "overscan" and is actually a feature of graphics 
cards. The overscan colour index can be selected with the "Overscan 
Color" register (0x11) of the attribute controller (port 0x3C0). You can 
even set a colour which is outside of the 0-15 range, so you get a 17th 
colour for the border!
