Is there a reliable 'standard' way to assess the VESA capabilities of video cards?

We need a thread that can list them and what they do if there isn't. Some video cards flicker on high resolutions in Build games too for example

like, maybe one list per whole chipset

Right now i could begin by vid_describemodes in Quake (with -winmem 48 DONT FORGET THAT) and dumping its output with -condebug.
