There are many cards that are not supported, if you can't get it to work with the 542x option, then you probably are out of luck with SVGATextMode. I don't know that new chipsets are being actively added. I haven't seen this type of activity anytime recently. I could be wrong. The only other thing I can suggest for changein video modes is the vga= kernel parameter (appended to lilo or loadlin). Use vga=ask initially until you find a mode you like. They specify that one. You will be limited to bios supported modes though. Not as flexible as stm. If you are using a newer kernel, I believe there is a compile config option to allow this. You should verify that this functionallity is compiled in.
