I think there is no reliable way of detecting whether xaaes uses the old name 
(video =) or the new name (mode =), since both are usually commented out.

It should be safe however to simply write both entries, in the worst case you 
get a warning about an unknown variable in xa_boot.log.

The changes were introduced in 3223f88c432f07b5572d225904659b7d97143c0f, and 
later documented in https://github.com/freemint/freemint/commit/
