>Description:

	The man page for vidcontrol lists option -i but neither does
it explain that this shall list the available VESA modes (if they are
available) given modes as argument nor is there any other indication
that these new modes exist on a system with the required kernel
support.

>How-To-Repeat:

	As always with docs:  Read them carefully.  ;-)

>Fix:
