video settings

[Ivan Wills <ivan@apollolifesciences.com>]

Hi
I have just install a copy of Debian 3.0r1 i386 on a new computer and I 
tried to tell lilo to use a new vga setting (set in lilo.conf vga=ask) 
ran lilo.
Then I rebooted the computer choose setting 9 the screen changed to the 
new setting then changed back to the standard setting.
Question: How do I make debian not over ride the video setting or how 
can I change the video setting from the command prompt?

Thanks
Ivan
