The Linux video mode numbers are at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers .
Since the best resolution of the old CRT I have connected to the machine is
1280x1024, I tried "vga=792", "vga=794" and "vga=795" and each of those work.
When in the 1024x768 modes (791, 792) I see pincushioning which I also saw with
just "nomodeset" (which used 1024x768 automatically). In either 1280x1024 mode
I don't, so I settled on "vga=795" (1280x1024, 24-bit). Strangely, checking the
color depth with the command "xdpyinfo | grep -B3 depths" and looking at the
first number after "depths" says that it's always in 24-bit, whether the mode I
chose was 16- or 24-bit.
