If you have framebuffer support enabled in the kernel (and it works with your
card) you can try vga=791. That will give you 1024x768 (128 columns x 48 rows)
at 16 bpp. It's what I use on my laptop to avoid using the nasty looking
"stretch" feature on the LCD. Of course there are other modes, but I don't
recall them.
