Yes, supposedly, although it sometimes doesn't actually return the best
mode from a user point of view. It will give you a mode which matches your
tags as best it can, but that might be an AGA screenmode while you really
want it on your GFX card. Or at least that's what I've read posted about it
here.

> and how do I use BestModeIDA_ ? I've never messed about with taglists yet...

Dim tags.TagItem(however_many_tags_you_want)
tags(0)\ti_Tag = #TAG_VALUE, somevalue ; set tag and data
; the autodocs will tell you the available tags and what to
; pass as the data value
tags(last_tag)\ti_Tag = #TAG_DONE ; End of taglist

BestModeIDA_(..., &tags(0)) ; pass pointer to first tag (or any other)
; tag in the list.
