The file is /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. In order to get
the video mode number of the Linux kernel, you take the hexadecimal VESA
mode number, then add 0x200. Then of course you convert to decimal.
Hex Vesa mode chart:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 | 0x101 0x103 0x105 0x107

16M | 0x112 0x115 0x118 0x11B
Hex adjusted Kernel mode numbers:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
