Problem:
The displaymodeselector tool does not yield the same responses as listed in its documentation.

I have not personally had to do this, but was just looking at the doc, which on a second look, appears not to be up to date for your card - it’s not mentioned there.
It might be worth contacting one of the posters in this thread.
