Editing VESA BIOS Extensions (section)

===Other commonly available graphics modes===

The table below combines the modes defined by VESA (the values denoted in black) along with modes commonly used, but which may not work on all graphics cards as they are not defined by any standard ({{color|red|denoted in red}}).
