       vga_getmodename - return a name for the given video mode

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       char *vga_getmodename(int mode);

DESCRIPTION
       A  pointer  to a static memory buffer is returned. Depending on mode it consist of a capital G followed by the amount of x pixels, followed
       by a lower case x, followed by the amount of y pixels, followed by a lower case x.  Finally the number of  different  colors  is  appended.
       Here the shortcuts 32K,64K,16M, and 16M4 are used for 32768, 65536, and 16777216 are used. The last refers also to 16777216 which are store
       in 4 bytes (highest address byte unused) for easier screen access.

       For unsupported values of mode the empty string "" is returned. In general the string resembles the corresponding #define for the videomode
       in #include <vga.h>.

EXAMPLE
       vga_getmodename(10) returns "G640x480x256".
