I was suggesting 791 as it is still better then the default and you can 
see something happening (I just hate it when I mess with options and I 
see no change :))

Did you include the nvidiafb module in your initrd? I run yaird and 
don't know how to do this for initramfs-tools. If yes then you could 
(again) try a resolution like 1024x768, just to see your changes are 
going to the right place and then see how to get to the right 
resolution.
