Could you perhaps try to explain this a bit more? Are you saying that
the card supports more modes than those listed below? What are they?
How do these "simple VESA utilities" find these other modes? Are you
sure that you're not also loading a VESA BIOS driver under DOS? I'm
not aware of any deficiencies in our VESA modelist fetching code; I
have, however, noticed that a lot of cards don't offer very good VESA
support "out of the box" anymore.
