When you bootup, you can enter 'linux vga=ask', selecting scan,
and then you get the following type of information.

mode    vga=    cols x rows
 0      0F00      80 x 25
 1      0F01      80 x 50
 2      0F02      80 x 43
 3      0F03      80 x 28
 4      0F05      80 x 30
 5      0F06      80 x 34
 6      0F07      80 x 60
 7      0123     132 x 25
 8      0133     132 x 44
 9      0122     100 x 30
 a      0121     100 x 25
 b      0158      80 x 33

But what can you actually put on the "vga=" line *inside* lilo.conf ?
I can't seem to find this info.

'man lilo.conf' says NORMAL is 80x25, EXT is 80x50, and ASK returns
list of text modes. It states that the 'mode' number can also be
used. Is there another way to find out the available modes without
rebooting with vga=ask and scanning ?

I just wanted to find some online doc showing these settings.

Thanks... Dan.
