two options only:
320x200 EGA/CGA 256 COLORS
640X480 VGA 16 COLORS
And you do not have a third option like this?

Hmmm, can you try the program PCIDEV instead?

It seems your BIOS doesn't contain VESA modes or KolibriOS has a bug reading them. Does your laptop have the latest BIOS version installed?

Maybe present only 16 bit modes.

But same chip in different laptop does support 640x480x24 bit:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2637&start=60#p56648
So
*theoretically* it should be possible to update this BIOS to support 640x480x24 bit.
