You might also want to try the frame buffer interface. By adding a mode
to your kernel stanza in grub... LILO I haven't used in years. So you'll
have to finger that out yourself if you use it.

But I have made a small webpage to describe the VESA video modes, with
an example on the bottom. Then selecting "yes" to "Do you want to use
the framebuffer interface" question during:
"dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg"

And, yes, I have started rebuilding my website. Though it'll be slow.
