Currently the video mode screen shows the comment field and a description of the mode. I can add a new driver field to the fractint.cfg, omit any video modes during read-in which don't have a driver field and then display the driver field in lieu of the comment field on the select video mode screen.
Your existing par files still work; they specify video=SF7 and that looks up into the fractint.cfg file as it does now, only the cfg file also specifies a driver and optional driver parameters. In fact the whole ax, bx, cx, dx fields can be used as driver parameters since the driver doesn't do BIOS style mode switching.
Take a look at the Allegro source, in drivers.c. I worked on this for a bit, but didn't get it to work. Jonathan
