+It requires at least a VGA-compatible Card or a VGA-Card with software-driver
 (min. \textbf{512Kb} video memory).
-Before the graph unit can be used, be sure your graphics adapter supports

-to make your adapter VESA compatible (e.g. UNIVBE).
+\subsection{A word about mode selection}
+The graph unit was implemented for compatibility with the old \tp graph
+unit. For this reason, the mode constants as they were defined in the
+\tp graph unit are retained. 
+
+However, since
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Video cards have evolved very much
+\item Free Pascal runs on multiple platforms
+\end{enumerate}
+it was decided to implement new mode and graphic driver constants, 
+which are more independent of the specific platform the program runs on.
+
+In this section we give a short explanation of the new mode system. the
+following drivers were defined:
+\begin{verbatim}
+D1bit = 11;
+D2bit = 12;
+D4bit = 13;
+D6bit = 14;  { 64 colors Half-brite mode - Amiga }
+D8bit = 15;
+D12bit = 16; { 4096 color modes HAM mode - Amiga }
+D15bit = 17;
+D16bit = 18;
+D24bit = 19; { not yet supported }
+D32bit = 20; { not yet supported }
+D64bit = 21; { not yet supported }
+
+lowNewDriver = 11;
+highNewDriver = 21;
+\end{verbatim}
+Each of these drivers specifies a desired color-depth. 
+
+The following modes have been defined:
+\begin{verbatim}
+detectMode = 30000;
+m320x200 = 30001;  
+m320x256 = 30002; { amiga resolution (PAL) }
+m320x400 = 30003; { amiga/atari resolution }
+m512x384 = 30004; { mac resolution }
+m640x200 = 30005; { vga resolution }
+m640x256 = 30006; { amiga resolution (PAL) }
+m640x350 = 30007; { vga resolution }
+m640x400 = 30008;
+m640x480 = 30009;
+m800x600 = 30010;
+m832x624 = 30011; { mac resolution }
+m1024x768 = 30012;
+m1280x1024 = 30013;
+m1600x1200 = 30014;
+m2048x1536 = 30015;
+
+lowNewMode = 30001;
+highNewMode = 30015;
+\end{verbatim}
+These modes start at 30000 because Borland specified that the mode number
+should be ascending with increasing X resolution, and the new constants 
+shouldn't interfere with the old ones.
+
+The above constants can be used to set a certain color depth and resultion,
+as demonstrated in the following example:
+
+\FPCexample{inigraph1}
+
+If other modes than the ones above are supported by the graphics card,
+you will not be able to select them with this mechanism.
+
+For this reason, there is also a 'dynamic' mode number, which is assigned at
+run-time. This number increases with increasing X resolution. It can be
+queried with the \var{getmoderange} call. This call will return the range
+of modes which are valid for a certain graphics driver. The numbers are
+guaranteed to be consecutive, and can be used to search for a certain 
+resolution, as in the following example:
+
+\FPCexample{inigraph2}
+
+
+Thus, the \var{getmoderange} function can be used to detect all available 
+modes and drivers, as in the following example:
+
+\FPCexample{modrange}
