The purpose of this tool is to display the video modes that the VESA bios
has available. A sub set of these modes are available to RenderWare.
1) Renderware can only work with 8,15 and 16 bit modes
2) Renderware can only work with standard VESA resolutions (320x200),
(640x400),(640x480),(800x600),(1024x768) and (1280x1024).
3) The mode must be 'available' that is the correct monitor is attached and
the video card has enough memory to support the mode.
4) The bios must give the VESA standard video mode number.
The format of the output is
VESA video mode in hex.

Note that the last two values will not be displayed on older versions of
the VESA bios (1.0). Also the last two values only have meaning in modes with
depths greater than 8 bits (They will appear as 0 for 8 and 4 bit modes).
