Tiago, try to put a append in your lilo.conf
something like this
append="video=mttr,vesa:1024x768 vga=0x317"

I use grub and here is a example

title           Debian GNU/Linux, Kernel 2.6.6
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro video=mttr,vesa:1024x768
vga=0x317
savedefault
boot
