+Video mode selection support
+CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT
+  This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If you
+  want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your card's
+  BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like SVGATextMode
+  don't, you can enable this and set the mode using the "vga=" option
+  from your boot loader (LILO or LOADLIN) or set "vga=ask" which brings
+  up a video mode menu on kernel startup. Read Documentation/svga.txt
+  for more information. If unsure, say "n".
