I've often wondered: where are these magic numbers documented, or how
can they be decoded to figure out what to use with, say, a 1280x800 or
1280x1024 or other resolution?


Kernel source, Documentation directory. I don't remember the file, but there's a pointer to it in the kernel-parameters.txt file, or you can just use "vga=ask" and select something usable.
