I've been having trouble finding out the text-mode resolutions of
video cards. Does anyone know of a good compilation of that
information?
Here is a list of modes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers

I think any card that supports VESA probably has to support
1280x1024 and 24 bits (see the table higher up on that page)
Actually, I was talking about text-mode resolutions (as I wrote
above), not graphics-mode resolutions.

Ok, I found it in that Wikipedia article:

Modes 264-268 (vesa's numbers, not the kernel's) are text modes.
264 (0108h) is 80x60, 265 (0109h) is 132x25
266 (010Ah) is 132x43, 267 (010Bh) is 132x50
268 (010Ch) is 132x60.


Actually, what I meant was the text-mode resolutions supported by
specific video cards. That is, information usable to choose which
card to get. My old card did 132x60. My new card did 132x44. In
case I buy a new card, I want to know which modes a given card
supports. I haven't been able to find that information. (I haven't
found any compilation for multiple cards; the manufacturer's page
for my new card doesn't mention the text modes.)
