792 I knew from using SuSE- when I selected 1024x768 on the install of
7.3, I looked at /etc/lilo.conf aftewards.  vga was set to 792.  I
honestly can't remember how I got 794, and I'd really like to take
advantage of my 17 in. Trinitron and my great high-schooler's eyes, and
set it to 1600x1200 with 16 bit color, maybe even 24 or 32 if I can
figure it out.  I run my desktop at 1600x1200 with 24 bit color, anyway.

Does someone want me to research this a bit more and write a step by
step for it with a nice index of all the modes say from 640x480 to
2048x1536 (the current high point for most consumer graphics cards, not
that I'm sure vesafb goes that high)?
