It's easiest just to take the videomode from [newdesk.inf]. Save the desktop in the resolution you want to use. Load newdesk.inf into a text-editor and locate the line starting with #El This line contains a number of hexadecimal numbers. Numbers five and six (counting from 1) is the videmode. So if these numbers are e.g. 40 and 4f, the XaAES videomode is 0x404f."

Modecodes & mode numbers are afaik well documented (toshyp, Atari Compendium etc), but perhaps the wiki could contain a list of the modecode bits and their meaning.

The mode-codes on the Firebee are completely different from the
modecodes on the Falcon, that was what I was trying to say. But you're
right, I should rephrase that.
