dug up an old link reidrac gave me (https://gist.github.com/juj/34306e6da02a8a7043e393f01e013f24) and managed to get 320x200 8bpp at 60Hz with square pixels going :D much better on my 60Hz monitor
i also learned how to use the VGA clocking mode register to turn the display on and off on demand which could be handy
