There are many cards that are not supported, if you can't get it to
work with the 542x option, then you probably are out of luck with
SVGATextMode. I don't know that new chipsets are being actively
added. I haven't seen this type of activity anytime recently. I
could be wrong.
The only other thing I can suggest for changein video
modes is the vga= kernel parameter (appended to lilo or loadlin). Use
vga=ask initially until you find a mode you like. They specify that
one. You will be limited to bios supported modes though. Not as
flexible as stm. If you are using a newer kernel, I believe there is
a compile config option to allow this. You should verify that this
functionallity is compiled in.
Good Luck,
Erv
