Was [ Stephen P. Villano ] For that matter, where does one head for help in 14.04?

Hmm, I just realized that hwinfo was deprecated in 13.10 as it depends on
HAL. You should still be able to check the available video modes at boot,
once on GRUB:
1. press C
2. type vbeinfo an hit <Enter>

You should see all the available screen modes at boot.
HTH.
