currently i use MODE_292, this is output of vidcontrol -i mode:

Are there any tricks to get console working in mode not listed by vidcontrol??
For eg. 1680x1050 or any other 16:10 mode (lower then 1680x1050)?? I also have issue
with copy paste on console working in vesa moge, when i highlighted text with mouse,
and wanted to copy it to text editon on other console, i got copyed only part of text, 
i assume it is buffer related problem, how can i increse it

Best Regards
