How can I use other SCREEN-settings then the normal values 0 thru 13 in
QBasic?
(This is a question of my 15 year old son Roel.)

You can mess around with CALL ABSOLUTES and CALL INTERRUPTs after
reading  up on VESA BIOS standards for SVGA cards....Phew.

You would have to use the INT 10H function "SET VIDEO MODE", using code
something like this:
REM Set Video Mode
DIM nVideoMode AS BYTE

'Use these equates to make the REG statement more readable:
%FLAGS = 0
%AX = 1
%BX = 2
%CX = 3
%DX = 4
%SI = 5
%DI = 6
%BP = 7
%DS = 8
%ES = 9

LET nVideoMode = 25     'decimal value of desired mode

REG %AX, VAL( "&H00" + RIGHT$( "0" + HEX$( nVideoMode ), 2 ) )
CALL INTERRUPT &H10

END
(The above code is for powerbasic, but can be adapted for QuickBasic)
