Hello,
I had something like this in video.S for years, so it is probably time
to try to push it upstream... Besides other problems it confirmed that
when I connect HDTV to my nVidia, BIOS decides that 640x480 is largest
possible resolution, as it is largest standard resolution smaller than
non-interlaced 1920x540, and apparently BIOS I have does not believe
that interlaced modes exist.
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
List VESA videomodes when vesafb is available
There is no CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA option, so code to retrieve VESA modes
(even text ones) was always disabled - it was introduced by conversion,
old video.S had #define CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA at the beginning.
Modify video-vesa.c to list graphics videomodes when vesafb is built in
and videomode is acceptable.
Because there is lot of videomodes in some VESA BIOSes, list them in three
columns (should be good for anybody - videocards with more than ~70 videomodes
cannot be used with some OSes, so vendors usually try to not cross more
than 60 videomodes reported by VESA). Which unfortunately means that
card_name for "BIOS (scanned)" needs to be made shorter.
And display color depth for videomodes. To avoid confusion depth
is shown only if non-text videomodes are present in the list.
