I'm trying to figure out how to find the screen resolutions available for a linux machine. If you set the wrong resolution or set vga=ask then it prompts you for available resolutions. Is there a way I can find that list somewhere after boot?

or

$ xrandr | fgrep '*'

or run your desktop monitor configuration tool.
