I figured this may be of some use to someone, as you can’t really find these in any obvious spot. To use any of these codes, all you need to do is add vga=code to the kernel parameters when booting. Using 1600×[email protected] bits as an example, the kernel parameter would be vga=799. If you want to be asked every time you boot the kernel, use vga=ask.

Edit: For the record, I do realize that this table does not fit entirely within this layout. If you want to see the whole thing, just copy and paste it into a spreadsheet or something. Otherwise, I may make it into it’s own page or something eventually.
