Yes.  The Flash Graphics library (which I wrote) that comes with 
Zortech C/C++ does just that.  fg_init() will detect which graphics
board is available and initialize it with the highest resolution possible.
There is an environment variable override for those cases where the
alogorithm fails (rare but it does happen) -- or if you want something
less than the max resolution with more colors.
