I might be missing something, but AFAICT VESA mode numbers are only passed by the user in the "vga=" option. There's also the `vid_mode' parameter in Linux header, but it's only used by legacy code, and with the 32-bit boot protocol Linux doesn't read it. Does 0x0F04 really do something when used in combination with Linux' vesafb? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
