It depends on the graphics card, because there was no fixed way of doing the
border defined for the the new screenmodes introduced in the VGA card.
My Matrox Millenium does it when you set pallete entry &Hex00,
but the card in my old 286 doesn't
the card in my 486 sl Laptop does
but the card in my 486 DX/2 Laptop doesn't
it just depends on the graphics card you have.
