My interpretation was that you were asking WinScreenMode, "given this resolution, what
color modes are available."
(Which only makes sense if the max color depth shrinks with increasing screen size.)
Of course, you could invert this and say "what's the highest resolution possible in
16-bit mode?"
Or you could just enum each possible graphics mode. I think this makes a lot of sense
for a platform that (right now) supports a
very small number of known modes.)
I can't wait to see how fast they've managed to get screen updates going at 320 x 320.
