Yes this feature is also available in kernel 2.4.x. You have do select in
Conslole drivers ---> [*] VGA text console and [*] Video mode selection
support.
Then set in your /etc/lilo.conf:
vga=ask
to find out a good vga mode. Then you have to use the numbers like 0122,
0123..... for vga=. Importand: don't forget to use a x. VGA mode 0122
has to been enabled with
vga=0x122
in your lilo.conf. And don't forget the
# lilo
after cahnging lilo.conf!
