I have an old desktop with Intel 82845g Graphics Controller. I have tried following video modes (using VESA) but not supported:
1024x768x16
1280x1024x16
800x600x32
800x600x16
(These modes are supported by Windows XP on this desktop but not by VESA)
But, These modes work fine in emulator and on my laptop.

Additional info:
Desktop has Pentium 4 Processor, 256 MB ram. And Panasonic plug and play moniter (17 inch).

Just get a list of the available graphics modes.

How can I check if VESA (VBE) is supported in my Graphics card i.e. Intel 82845G.
