Evaluate graphics mode (DOS)

Hi everyone,
is there a better (and possibly more reliable) method known to evaluate
the 'highest' possible graphics mode? The following function
'test_grmode()' seems to work in most cases, but there might be cases
were it states a mode which is wrong.

Could you please test it, also from a Win32 command window, full and
windowed?
Any results and recommendations are welcome.

Thanks, and have a nice day, Rolf

    integer m

    for i = 1 to length(modi) do
        if graphics_mode(modi[i]) = 0 then
            m = graphics_mode(-1)
            return i
        end if
    end for
    return 0
end function
  puts(1,"Can't set any GR-mode.\n")
end if
