which debian/which kernel?
If you use potato with its default installation kernel, chances are
you're in "framebuffer" mode - basically text mode is faked by drawing
glyphs in graphics mode. (Does it display the penguin logo when it
boots?)
To get my favorite text mode resolution I had to recompile my own
kernel for potato.
