5.19.2 Supported VGA graphics modes:

The Volari Z11M provides a 24-bit true color Digital-Analog-Converter (DAC). The maximum
frequency of the RGB is 230 MHz. The maximum resolution the DAC supports is
1600x1200@60Hz video mode (16-bit high color) or 1280x1024@85Hz video mode (true
color 32-bit).All Standard VGA modes are supported. The color palette, with 256 24-bit
entries, converts a color code that specifies the color of a pixel into three 8-bit values, one each
for red, green and blue. The 24-bit true color DAC is designed for direct color graphics mode.
It converts each digital color value to three analog voltages for red, green, and blue.
