I think it depends on your specific framebuffer driver. I get the
following information from the vesafb documentation.
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
32k | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
64k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
16M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B
use "vga=<mode>" where <mode> is one of the hex values in the above
table. This is a kernel parameter; it should be added to the "append="
line of your lilo.conf or on the kernel command line of your
/boot/grub/menu.lst
For example, my kopt line in /boot/grub/menu.lst is
# kopt=root=/dev/hda4 ro vga=0x317 video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap
good times,
