I did some research (again) on how to retrieve a list of available modes from allegro. Last time I only saw an empty list.

Now I know why I failed the first time: The Allegro VESA driver has a bug filtering out text modes which results in returning no modes at all.
I fixed that bug in Allegro and now I'm seeing all modes supported.

Stay tuned for yet another update...

PS: see v1.5 for autodetection.

Also: all my test images are in the GitHub repo
