Yeah, scan combined with incompletely read docs made for some confusion.
I had 2 modes picked out of the docs to try out, but when I did scan and
129, 12b and 12c came back (far from 305 316) I figured that's what I was
stuck with no matter what they are ('VESA' appears after scan) and just
gave what was listed a go.. I mean nogo.
