17 The video mode to be used is selected by a kernel parameter which can be
23 NORMAL_VGA - Standard 80x25 mode available on all display adapters.
25 EXTENDED_VGA - Standard 8-pixel font mode: 80x43 on EGA, 80x50 on VGA.

42 The ASK_VGA mode causes the kernel to offer a video mode menu upon

68 next section for a description of mode IDs).
70 <flashing-cursor-here> encourages you to enter the item number or mode ID
72 "Unknown mode ID", it is trying to tell you that it isn't possible to set such
73 a mode. It's also possible to press only <RETURN> which leaves the current mode.
75 The mode list usually contains a few basic modes and some VESA modes. In
78 BIOSes are often shipped with the same card and the mode numbers depend purely
86 If you are not happy with the mode list offered (e.g., if you think your card
87 is able to do more), you can enter "scan" instead of item number / mode ID. The
88 program will try to ask the BIOS for all possible video mode numbers and test
95 After scanning, the mode ordering is a bit different: the auto-detected SVGA
101 Because of the complexity of all the video stuff, the video mode IDs
102 used here are also a bit complex. A video mode ID is a 16-bit number usually
103 expressed in a hexadecimal notation (starting with "0x"). You can set a mode
104 by entering its mode directly if you know it even if it isn't shown on the menu.
112 0x0100 to 0x017f - standard BIOS modes. The ID is a BIOS video mode number
115 0x0200 to 0x08ff - VESA BIOS modes. The ID is a VESA mode ID increased by
124 0x0f00 standard 80x25, don't reset mode if already set (=FFFF)
128 0x0f04 leave current video mode
136 E.g., 0x1950 corresponds to a 80x25 mode, 0x2b84 to 132x43 etc.
137 This is the only fully portable way to refer to a non-standard mode,
138 but it relies on the mode being found and displayed on the menu
139 (remember that mode scanning is not done automatically).
145 If you add 0x8000 to the mode ID, the program will try to recalculate
146 vertical display timing according to mode parameters, which can be used to
