    I believe this is built-in to the linux kernel, so I wouldn't expect it to change.
    (I use 795 on my Fedora notebook which is a 2.6 kernel.)

    Regardless, I'm sure this information is on the web somewhere.

    The second link is from 1994, but looks appropriate, and has even more modes listed.

      Greetings Barry,

      Thanks for the reply. Previously in version 5.x I was able to use vga=788, which also works in version 6.x. However, it appears to function more like the nosplash mode. Was just curious, as it's not too important, since I am able to connect via ssh or https. I was more interested in the different functionality between the versions. 

      Thanks again.

      Respectfully,

      Kohi
