i apparently, then, have a gift for googling-without-finding; i had
not seen that syntax :-/

per suggestion, vga=gfx-1024x768x16 works great. thanks.

random attempt @ vga=gfx-1280x1024x24 does not, bringing up the
'select video mode' again.

somewhere (looking some more ...) there's a doc specifying the
xen-allowed video modes?  looking here @ src,

   http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2007-06/msg00206.html

it's not immediately obvious

thanks!
