    There's a lot of information with the kernel documentation, in particular the
    svga.txt file.

    You might try vga=ask which will show you a list of option you can try,
    but first, use the 'scan' option of vga=ask and it will interrogate the
    bios to (hopefully) find the modes supported by the bios.
