Things are in quite a bit of flux.  First, in F12 the mode number I've used
for a long time
didn't work any more, but 'vga=ask' gave a list with a letter index that
would 
select the desired mode.

With F13, Grub gives an error message that it can't parse a number if
'vga=ask' 
is on the kernel boot line.  Haven't yet tried entering one of the old mode
codes.
