When DOSBox uses "original" resolution for various modes and games, which resolutions is it actually asking the display to change to?

For text mode, in svga_s3, is it requesting a resolution of 720x400 or something else?
For 320x200 games, is it requesting a resolution of 640x400 or 640x480?

I'm trying to get modelines set up to see if I can somehow get resolution switching to happen for DOSBox Pure in Retroarch.

Hi! i have a thin client with a ati card than can do lower resolutions, and dosbox output real 320x200 resolution

dosbox problem (sdl problem in fact) is not resolutions, but refresh rates that cant be selected
