I am re-posting this announcement for a developer who wanted to share his program, but isn't subscribed to the email list.
>From the GitHub page: :: X-VESA enumerates all available VESA video modes, decodes the information :: returned by the VESA interface for each mode, and performs functional :: tests and measurements on the hardware resources actually accessible. It :: supports VBE specifications from version 1.0 to version 3.0, including :: non-standard versions and partial or defective implementations. :: :: X-VESA is designed for use on real hardware. Operation on emulators :: or virtual machines is technically possible but discouraged: timing, :: jitter and VRAM access speed measurements produce meaningless results :: in an emulated environment. X-VESA is distributed under the GNU GPL.
